When I graduated, I had no clue what I was going to do with my life. Still don't. It's been 15 years.

I'm not sure how I feel.

I ended up joining the trades. It wasn't fun but I got to a position I can tolerate.

If my Nvidia graphics card played nicely, I would.

It's my #1 complaint with Linux... Well Nvidia.

Well now you have me wanting to try it again.

The main issue I've been having is getting two monitors to work.

Install Linux, one monitor works. Let's try changing the driver, permanent black screen.

Reinstall Linux, well maybe I can make one monitor work. Nope. Let's try and change the driver using the terminal. Oh black screen again.

Ok I'll only use Linux for coding on one monitor, Windows update somehow lost the boot loader for Linux. I'm not good on grub so I just removed Linux afterwards.

I have another older computer, still Nvidia. Let's do a clean install. No windows, just Linux. Configure proton on steam, hmm it doesn't launch games. It just says starting then nothing. No errors. Let's try different compatibilities, still no errors.

What I experienced is, Linux doesn't tell you what You're doing wrong, it just doesn't work. Which isn't going to work for the majority of computer users.

If something is having an issue, I want to know why, which unfortunately and fortunately Windows does a good job on.

I'll try endeavor next time.

If I can get overwatch and steam games to work, I would leave Windows in a heart beat. But I'm also at the point in my life where I can't spend hours troubleshooting.
