I tried setting up two different distros

Would you mind telling what were the two distros you were trying to setup just for reference?

I installed Distro A, and Distro B, and you’re about to reply:

“Oh, well there’s your problem! A and B aren’t great for beginners (even though you read they were from someone else). I’d strongly recommend, C, D, E, or F.”

Whether it’s installing a new distro off new recommendations or spending time tinkering to get one of them working right, it’s still the same annoyance, and it’s unlikely to change. That said, if you have read that and will restrain from jabbing back about it or are just genuinely curious:

Distros

Linux Mint 21, then Linux Mint 22, then Bazzite

Thank you for the full disclosure, I think it adds weight to your post and no don’t worry I wasn’t going to argue with you about your distro choices, not at all.

I’m a very average Joe which also when into heaps of trouble when I tried to setup a Linux distro (mainly tried Pop_OS and Fedora KDE) so I feel the same as you 👌
