Hey everyone! I've been considering migrating my Dell XPS 15 7590 from Windows 11 to Linux (probably Mint but I'll look around to see if anything else looks appealing to me). What are some things I should consider while doing this? I have some decent experience with Linux in general since I've installed it on numerous devices in the past and I have two devices running it already. However, I have never migrated one of my main use devices to Linux before, so I was wondering what to expect.
What I use the laptop for:
What I use the laptop for:
- Web browsing
- 3D modeling and slicing (using FreeCAD and Creality Print)
- Gaming (although the games I want to play are verified to work under Linux
- NVIDIA drivers (my laptop has a GTX 1650)
- Docking station compatibility (I have a Dell WD15)
- Battery usage vs. Windows
- USB monitor support (I have a ViewSonic VA1655 portable monitor)
