I’m in a nearly identical position, I don’t have any advice except stay strong and know you’re not alone. It’s rough out here right now. Even temp agencies for IT work are a dead end, they want me to relocate for 30 days of employment lmao. I’m just doing gig work while I wait but the hiring market for this field is fucked right now

I think about him saying don’t tell my wife about the chicken wings at least once a week lol

Default Fedora workstation and Silverblue do it this way. First boot prompts you to create an account and set it up, then lands you on the desktop and asks if you want a tour of the UI

I don’t have experience with dual GPU laptops but from what I’ve heard PopOS handles them really well. They also have an image with the nvidia drivers preinstalled which should make the setup process straightforward

Edit: I also found this github repo which documents some fixes for issues on that device specifically. Not sure how many of these have been patched upstream by now but it’s worth checking out.
