I think you've tried a distribution for advanced users... Something like Debian would not have triggered that!
Also note that regarding dual boot, most of the time, Microsoft can be in cause (if you're not using UEFI, if you have secure boot, and others).
Both, Canadairs have been flying near the runways for hours, refueled at the airport and took water near the runways (but usually that's okay, because they try to stay out of the way).

You have to use two swaps if you already use one swap, because one will be used when the system is on, but the second will be used to set the RAM content + the 1st content into SWAP (if any), otherwise, it would fail.
Then, find the hibernation swap uuid:
sudo swapon --show
lsblk -o name,uuid
Then
# /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=UUID=xxxx"
#/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
resume=UUID=xxxx
# bash
sudo update-grub
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
# to hibernate on lid switch
# /etc/systemd/logind.conf
HandleLidSwitch=hibernate
Then reboot :)
Note: this method works wonderfully, I use it personally. Just be aware that the hibernation swap content is not encrypted, so you're vulnerable if your laptop is stolen while hibernated.
This! A game is a game. There are often good alternatives that gives as much entertainment. If a publisher doesn't want you to play, that's their problem, they won't get money from you.
Yes, but honestly, I find that games enforcing incompatible AC are often poorly developed games. The latest that disappointed me was EA WRC. It was quite good, but the gameplay was less interesting that Dirt Rally 2, for exemple, and since they enforced AC, they also started to deploy DLC, and destroy the game. The lesson was to never ever buy something from Electronic Arts (the last time was more than 10 years ago for me). And kernel level anti-cheat is NO GO on my computer. It doesn't matter if the game is awesome or not, I disagree with the fact that a game company has root access on my computer just for entertainement.
20 years for me (even thought I used Windows for a year in there). There's no point in using Windows at all, unless you're forced at work, or stuck because you don't want to learn an alternative tool.
Yes, there will still be the aosp repository as open-source. It will have some lag, but still there.
Thus said, Google has moved a lot of things into the Google Play services over the years (closed sources).
So, who knows what's next!
Let's praise that some companies inject money / devs into postmarketos!
This! Debian with Gnome or others is the answer. Take an afternoon to make it yours, then forget it.
You can use backported kernels on Debian, to support newer hardware. Try this or upgrade to Debian 13 right now by changing the sourcefile to trixie instead of bookworm.
Note : if you use Gnome, let gnome-software handle the updates for you (there's an equivalent for kde). If you use others, configure unattented-upgrades for automatic updates.
For reference, I have a 6700XT on a 4k videoprojector, and it's fluid for 4k video and games (but it's a gaming card).
The drivers are excellent and the card is stable.
Thus said, I read some web videos through mpv, which is more optimized. On Youtube 4k, it works as well.
I've tried 8k downsized and it was bit laggy, so I don't think a 6400 is enough for 8k video.
I also had to buy a HDMI cable with more throughput!
Videos aside, I think it's okay for the display only (texts and images), but wait for another reviewer because the 6400 is less powerful, so I can't confirm.
However, if it works on Windows, it will work on Linux.
It's not good for your mental health to get news that have only a point of view. Always look both sides to make your own mind!
