Im finally leaving behind this bum cheeks windows for Sweet sweet linux. i have sum smol questions and feel free to give any tips you want.

Now windows has always bugged me, obviously. Sometimes ts would turn off search indexing, sometimes the intel upgrades will be stuck on "waiting for windows configuration", someones even normal updates will get stuck. and after those updates someone app wont one or open automatically.

I reinstalled windows 11 two days ago expecting that fast snappy windows...but nah this is genuinely lobotomizing. Billions of drivers, some are outdated, my controller isnt getting picked up in games, MY GPU ISNT GETTING PICKED UP BY GAMES BUT IS RECOGNIZED BY PC SOMEHOW, Audio drivers dont work properly. And windows automatically downloaded these. Plus my bios is also up to date. Im just done using this shitty OS and living under Big Bill and finally installing Linux. Fedora or Mint to be specific

now for questions since its my first time doing this.

My main priority is Blender and unity since im a game dev, those work fine on Linux no?

for games, do i just look for them on Proton DB and if they have Native, platinum and Gold, i can run then very easily no?

Next is security. How secure is it. Like if I supposedly clicked on a link or downloaded it, How screwed am I, Hypothetically.

also does my Nvidia GPU cause any problems? or will it be fine?

Feel free to drop any extra tips

Please help. PC is lagging after a fresh windows install. Ive installed the intel drivers and Nvidia GPU driver but there is still nothing.

I recently reinstalled win 11 on my laptop after 2 years and everything went...kinda fine. Its an Acer Nitro 5 with intel i7 12th gen and RTX 4050 140 watt. When i first loaded it i downloaded the Wireless wifi drivers from the vendor which is...Acer. Then settings gave me a notification about downloading all drivers which i did. Then i installed the intel graphics driver but for some reason its still showing the "install" icon on the website even tho i installed them and restarted.

then i installed the Nvidia app, and updates my GPU drivers and even Nvidia Control panel recognized my GPU. But when i load up apps, there is a very significant lag and games dont even play at more than 5 fps. which used to be 120 fps before reinstall. Heck, even youtube is lagging.

also that intel app where its saying "waiting windows for configuration".... its been like that for 2 hours. Then u also have those VGA drivers, do i need them? rtx 4050 and Geforce experience. i installed Nvidia app and installed game ready drivers there. Then the intel site, installed them but they are still there. like..what is happening

If you know what is wrong, if im missing something, or i did something wrong, please help me

Which of these IRST drivers do I need for windows 11 reinstall.

Also on a side note do I need the lan and lan utility drivers too? And how I install these IRST drivers?

I tried a clean reinstall of windows on my pc, but for some reason the partitions aren't appearing

I don't really know how this works since it is my first time doing this... But even I know it's not supposed to be like this. Also I had like 200 gb available in my main drive before this (idk if that is relevant here)

Im re Installing windows on my Acer Nitro 5 and I have some small questions

Ok so my laptop got really bloated and messy so I thought I should just reinstall it. So I have a few questions about what to do

  1. The person i bought this from said that The activation key is embedded into the motherboard. So if I reinstall, do I have to re Activate it?

  2. Im watching a video by linus on how to do it and he said I might need to reinstall the lan and wifi drivers. So so I need to reinstall them or are they included.
