I had Win11 on this box, it'd have been upgradable to 12, but bleh. It

Agreed, when I bought the latest machine I made sure it was all Linux
compatible, then they sold out and offered a free upgrade, which I took and
ended up with an Nvidia GPU, so annoyed but entirely my fault. It works well
enough but I didn't want to support them by buying it.

I actually prefer NVIDIA, even considering that its driver for Linux
is proprietary, although my reasons for that may be outdated.
Originally I didn't need a video card, I had an old 1080p monitor that
was great with the Intel CPU video, but when I got a new 4K monitor I
found the CPU video driver wasn't amazing with it.  NVIDIA offered a
very basic but modern card, not too expensive, ideal for me as a non-
gamer.

I would just like them to help more with the Linux drivers. I don't game to that
extent either.
