Same. Since the Win 11 update on my work laptop I got so fed up with the OS, that I installed Linux on both of my desktop PC and my wifes laptop. Zero regrets, no more MS bullshit on my personal stuff.

No hesitation, pure feedback

I will take my travellers cheque to a competing fellowship.

My wifes old laptop died and I got an ancient gaming laptop from a colleague and put Linux Mint on it. It works great.

She uses it for studying and some light gaming (Stardew Valley). It just works. She never used Linux before but had zero issues using it and she even said its just like Windows, just faster.

I also work from home and use my work laptop for work only. Not even googling stuff, nothing. Just work. Never even opened the media player or went to youtubes website once.

I have my own computer running on a separate screen and I can do and watch whatever the fuck I want during working hours. I can play a game or watch a movie and nobody knows. Its that simple.

Same with phones. Never use work phone for personal stuff.

Its not even being tech savvy, just common sense ffs.

The text message representation of having a phone call and going through a tunnel mid sentence.

Unless it has AI I’m not interested

Recently switched to Linux Mint.

There are really just a couple extra steps to set up Linux for gaming. In my opinion it takes less time to install proton ge, Lurtis or Heroic than downloading and installing GPU drivers on windows:)

For 90% I just download the game via Steam and enable Proton GE (if its not native) and play it straight away.

In some cases if Im not happy with performance I check the Proton DB page to see what settings/proton version/launch commands other people are using and that solves it 9 out of 10.

If you have GoG, Uplay, Epic, etc games just use Heroic or Lutris. Again, first time setup can take 20-30 min using a video tutorial, but after that its all good to go.

I agree, someone should have highlighted it, this is just confusing.

Thoughts and prayers 🙏

Sorry, I have a Radeon rx580, no experience with Nvidia yet.

Thank you. I will look into it!

Unless you want to play recent multiplayer AAA titles your steam library will work with little to no tinkering.

There is a website Check My Deck, which is originally designed for steam deck users, but linking your steam library you can check how many of your games will run out of the box, and how many require some additional steps on Linux/Proton.

For the ones not on the list you can check ProtonDB for guides and opinions from other Linux users.

Thank you. I have a relatively big GoG library, so lutris is already installed :)

So far loving it!

That is for later, but definetly will do some experimenting with the deck.

I dont know you but it means a lot :)

Thank you! Yes, it needs to be enabled there. Its basically just 3 extra clicks and the game is good to go :)
