Yeah, linux sucks. But the alternatives are worse.

I would argue two points: 1. Graphics are actually well supported now. Both AMD and especially Nvidia work very well. I have a Quadro card on my laptop and render constantly with it. Check out Popos by System76. Custom built for Nvidia. 2. There is absolutely a way to make money with free stuff. You sell support. Look at RedHat. They put a ton of cash into developing a free thing and do extremely well.

Open source has changed the world already and it has only just begun.

My laptop has an AMD graphics card but unfortunately it doesn't work with Linux. It's really good to see more and more support, though, and I think that we'll see even more thanks to Steam working to make more games compatible with Linux.
And it's absolutely true you can make money off the back of a free product through support. Perhaps you can even make more money. But unfortunately, Windows has become the "standard" and people are scared of change, which is a shame.

I have an Nvidia laptop. Tried running Pop but if the screen went to sleep it would not wake.

Its a nice OS. But I had to switch and been using Manjaro KDE as my primary OS for over a year and not one problem. I actually use the beta version and still no problems. Linux4life.

Ha. Yeah, historically I just keep flipping through the distros until one works well. I definately have had good luck with PopOS, but all on brand new stuff, so maybe its that. Who knows.
