My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it.

My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff.

I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs?

Thanks!

    libreoffice is also a good browser and you can brag that you have a light blue browser icon that no one else has

      I think Jumuta is referring to LibreWolf, a fork of Firefox with some hardening pre-applied. I use it on machines on which I don’t want to spend time configuring my browser.
