Thinking about switching from Windows to omarchi – Questions about stability, NVIDIA gaming, and learning curve
Hey everyone! I've been a Windows user for most of my life (though I use Zorin OS at work for development). Honestly, I'm getting pretty bored with Windows. I've seen this distro recommended in several YouTube videos and it looks really appealing, but I have a few concerns:
- Stability: How stable is this distro compared to other more established options? Has anyone experienced serious bugs or stability issues?
- Gaming with NVIDIA: I'd also be using it for gaming, not just work. I have a 5070 Ti and I've heard that NVIDIA doesn't play very well with this distro. I'd love to know if anyone has run into issues or if this has already been resolved. I'm confident it'll be fine for development, but I'm worried about games crashing or having performance problems.
- Learning curve: Since it's an Arch-based distro, it offers a lot of freedom and customization. Would you recommend it for someone coming from Windows/Zorin OS, or is the learning curve too steep?
Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
