I'm considering switching to #linux #ubuntu from #windows. I'm working on re-organizing my SSDs so I have my smaller one for the OS and applications and the larger one for all my files so I can just reinstall the small one and I won't lose anything.
I have a Intel i7-12700K and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. I'm a fan of GNOME and Wayland. I've used Ubuntu before and enjoyed it.
Most of the software I use either has a Linux version or I should be able to use Wine or Virtual Box.

As a programmer the options, customization and configuration of Linux appeal to me, and having control of my data and using an #opensource OS and applications sounds good to me. Is there anything I should consider with my GPU/CPU before making the leap? Is Wayland still bad on Nvidia Cards?

> Considerations with NVIDIA
In my experience just make sure you install the closed source drivers. When I was running them it worked great, but I was on X11 at the time. The default installer expects you to drop out of your GUI desktop during installation, so it can be a little wonky. Some distros ship with this driver in an easily digestible format such as a native package.

Sorry, I can't provide any feedback on this; I didn't start using Wayland until I switched to the Intel ARC 770. FWIW Intel's GPU works quite well with the 6.2 kernel. _shrugs_
