    I installed Mint yesterday, I cannot for the life of me get Gsync to work with multiple displays. Also every few minutes my keyboard stops working and I have to unplug it and plug it back in.

    I want to make the switch to linux, I really do but every time I install linux I find a bunch of reasons why I can't use it.

      Unfortunately Nvidia hardware is not ideal for Linux due to the proprietary drivers, I've had trouble with them in the past and now just try to avoid Nvidia hardware if possible. The keyboard thing is odd, is it plugged in to a usb hub and then in via usb c? Sometimes I need to unplug mine and plug it back in after waking from suspend and it only happens when plugged in through my usb c hub with monitors plugged in to that.

      Regarding Gsync and Freesync, there's been a lot of work on them for KDE Plasma so I'd consider picking a stable distro with KDE Plasma. I'd recommend Kubuntu but it doesn't have the latest version of Plasma.

      Oh and the KDE community is really helpful and you can contact them via reddit, telegram or matrix
