There’s no article - this is something that happened to me personally, today. I needed an outlet and wanted some advice what to do about this, and I’m really happy about the responses I’ve gotten.

e/os is most likely my next step, especially with Google disabling installing “unverified” third-party apps in 2026.

Bought a FP5 with e/os in mind as a possible upgrade path, I just was too worried to immediately do the full jump.

As a Linux noob I feel that lol… Currently on my Mint Laptop with an nvidia gpu (RTX 4060 Mobile version) and while most stuff worked out of the box, am running into several small annoyances:

• steam doesn’t launch (steamwebhelper doesn’t respond).
• Sleep mode just completely crashes the system once in a while.
• The GPU runs pretty warm, even if I don’t use anything / have the laptop closed.
• Tried to tinker around with the ‘nvidia-xconfig’ CLI in order to use a custom fan curve and it created a config file which completely stopped my desktop environment from even launching at startup… Somehow managed to recover the system through terminal shenanigans

To anyone thinking about switching to linux, do yourself a favor and do it on AMD hardware.
