Certificates on Windows 11 are absolute trash. They removed the ability to impersonate accounts by only allowing a pin certificate. The problem is there used to be a mechanism to login by username and password, but its gone now. So if you're pin cert doesnt work, there is no way to impersonate the cert anymore or emulate a seperate account. What retard thought this was a good idea...

Installed Linux 2 days ago on my Lenovo Legion laptop.

Didn't get through MX Linux installation. Next.

Got through Linux Mint installation, but almost nothing worked. Next.

Installed Ubuntu, everything seems to work except it doesn't correctly identify my TV so I can only get it to display 4k resolution about 50% of the time.

I don't get why there are so many problems. Do you have to buy specific computers with specific hardware for Linux to work well?

Few manufacturers build with Linux in mind. ms dictates the specs and they go out of their way to screw us.

As for hardware? slightly older business castoffs are the way to go,stuff em' with ram and an ssd and you'll get happy.

Your Legion is fixable,know its specs and fire up the search engine.

Thanks. Ok the Linux ecosystem might need some time to mature for brand new computers? I guess it makes sense.

Yup, Right now people are out there reverse engineering new hardware drivers,it's not glamorous and they are doing it for free. It will get done,but it takes a bit.

An old box that's cheap enough to throw out a window if when you get frustrated is a good way to learn.

Usually, there's some initial tweaking to be done to get everything working exactly like you want.

Maybe some day I'll learn.

Well let us know what tweaks can make them not hard freeze the system with Nvidia cards. The open source Noveau shit is craptastic and the Nvidia binaries just give a black screen.

That's the thing with Linux. It's expected you'll want to learn, not just slap it on and expect everything to be peachy. Hell, even Windows isn't like that tbh unless you buy a computer with it already installed. You can do that too with Linux, btw. Dell and System76 sell computers with Linux.

To be fair, a fresh install of windows requires a fair amount of work too. Drivers, config, tweaks, software. It's just the average user never sees it.

Not work that Linux doesn't require. The struggle with Linux is overcoming all the bugs just to get your machine up and running so you can start tweaking the config and software.
