Yes, and comparing resources it issues much less CPU while “idle”

On my laptop, I was using the tool available on Mint to find ans install drivers and after I reboot I was losing the WiFi drivers

This laptop did not have an Ethernet port, so I needed to re-install the OS and try again

Do all updates first, save a snapshot of the system, than install the latest Nvidia driver.

For me, installing Nvidia drivers before the system update was the issue

I am conflicted about Zorin, they are selling something using free software… but somehow, maybe marketing i am not sure… they are able to get people on Linux that never did before. So you know, seeing people ditching Windows for Linux might be the first step… maybe someone start with Zorin, get comfortable and jump to something else.

I am a macOS user for work and had windows mostly for games on my personal computer, when I got a new laptop last year it came with win 11… it was so annoying to need to skip literally ads for Microsoft services… that even being my “leisure” computer… I spent the time getting Linux Mint, deal with Nvidia drivers on Linux just to have steam there

The games I am playing recently are working great on Linux and my computer feels faster now.

This particular laptop had a problem with WiFi drivers and Nvidia drivers, but getting past this first setup, I must say Linux Destop is easier and fast to use.
