FOSS Techs support Small Tech & Biz; we do not support or recommend any
Big Tech! That's what a Big Tech
Troll does. I share this content for those who seek a glitch-free FOSS system. Component chips are programmed (finalized) by the first Operating System installed. A 2nd OS cannot delete or alter that code. Sometimes there's parity, but most of the time there's not. Virgin
components are critical to avoid Big Tech
compromises at the chip level.
There's good options for those seeking to switch from
Big to Small Tech (hardware & software) to stay
Safe, but don't want to build or install. For laptops and mini PC's there's the awesome
StarLabs, as well as
Laptop with Linux &
FrameWork &
Tuxedo &
System 76 &
Malibal &
Entroware. Serious laptop gamers should use an unaltered
ROG. Some units seem expense but that's the math of subsidies; Microsoft subsidizes
OEM's to use Windows; it can mine data even in
dual-boot.
To achieve a glitch-free system, install Linux alone; a Windows/Linux (Winux)
dual-boot is the #1 cause of glitches. Use Intel-Only-Inside systems because their
drivers work equally the same on any OS. There's tens of thousands of
chips all needing drivers, but not all of them are covered in all Linux Kernels. With their marriage, Windows/Nvidia units should stay on Windows only, or expect glitches and/or poor performance; their drivers are not all equal.
Linux systems will be glitch-free if users follow these criteria, and not stray from their Software Manager. Careful also not to
overwhelm the C/GPU of older systems that have been Linux renewed. If you just want to experiment with Linux, rather than a
dual-boot, first get a
beginners USB, or, get a
for-Linux-only unit. When users have glitches, they seek help online via anonymous users; not wise; they might be a
Troll. Find me on
Reddit or email me.
