I was already dubious about upgrading from 10 to 11 and this is final straw. I will have to look at Linux options and see if my Windows-only programs will run effectively under WINE.

I'm fucking out. I do a lot of basic IT work, including many fresh installs and new domain users, and I am so godamn sick of having to go through 5 dialogues every single time I open edge. For the local account. Then the domain admin account. Then the domain user account. Fuck this company.

As soon as I can afford to get an AMD GPU or do a swap with someone for my 1070, I'm gone. I used to love computers, but dealing with windows even on a home PC with no "problems", it just feels like more work.

Pop!OS has pretty good nvidia support. Try a dual boot.

I'm going AMD next as well, pop wouldn't run games on my 3080, finally got some running on endeavourOS currently but pop and fedora had lots of issues.

Ah. I'm working with much older hardware.

PopOS has been running games fine on my 3070 for many years at this point. It might be worth another try.

I just tried in February but could be because of the protocol either Wayland or X11, I run 2 1440p 144hz monitors and I think Wayland struggles with that. Have had better luck with arch and KDE x11

It could be Wayland issues with Nvidia, I use three higher res monitors, but only 60Hz in X11.
