Have you checked your modem/Wi-Fi router?

Sounds Dumb, I know, but many have them baked in.

It may not be perfect, but it covers all devices unless you can login.

Yeah, after testing it, I realized it was just more efficient and organized for me.

It’s made by DHH, the Creator of Ruby on rails… I can’t tell you if he is a right wing conspiracy theorist because I simply haven’t done the research.

Honestly, I would say either of those are good options to start with. I sincerely doubt fully breaking the PC. Maybe research Linux for your GPU, you may have multiple options. It may be worth a second hard drive so you can easily swap back and forth until you are fully comfortable. Dual booting on the same HDD is also possible, but more annoying.

Personal issue I ran into: motherboard customization on my big gamer doesn’t work without Windows… Not a huge deal, but my Rainbow LED runs its animation in reverse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EndeavorOS… I’ve been wanting to try that… Although I heard some good things about CachyOS and need to try that one first.

That said if you’re on the hyprland journey, you may look at Omarchy, it is basically Arch with hyprland preconfigured. Not a huge deal, but simple for a test.

Uh… My journey actually started with Nobara after researching. But I wanted to try hyprland, so switched to Arch.

One of the things I like about Arch is the yay util designed to build packages basically straight from GitHub, and provide an easy way to upgrade them.

I will also go ahead and say that jumping straight to Arch is a bad idea. I would look at Ubuntu or Fedora first. Arch pushes updates really quickly and it can occasionally cause issues.

Hyprland is my new favorite. Never even thought I would like a tiling Windows manager before, but it is pretty sick. Quickshell is pretty cool too…

Debian servers… But what direction did you go for your daily driver? There is no wrong answer, but I like hearing how people migrate over.

I was the same as you, btw, started with Debian servers be it an Apache Cloudstack hypervisor, or k8s host.

But because I decided to go with a tiling Windows manager, somehow I ended up down the hyprland rabbit hole on Arch.

I have… Moved my gaming over to it… Admittedly better since I don’t play anything like cod or bf. But you can keep a dual boot just in case. Still plays horizon zero dawn, fallen Jedi, borderlands 4(probably better on Linux), and Doom Eternal. Also Rocket League.
