  I feel like this is one of those calls that get so repeatedly people get numbed.

  Something along the lines of climate change, economic crisis, etc.

  They are all true, but people are passivated.

  For real though; GET THE DAMN LINUX. SPIN IT UP IN A VM. DUAL BOOT IT WITH WINDOWS. YOU LOSE NOTHING, WINDOWS IS THERE. JUST TRY FOR ONCE.

    I ripped the bandaid off a month or so ago. Went with LMDE. Haven’t looked back. Steam runs all my games through Proton just as good as they ran on Windows, if not better.

        Good to know about those.

        My laptop has been running LMDE for the past year, so I was able to get the hang of it as a daily driver (been using Debian for years for servers).

    I lose Virtual Desktop for my wireless VR, 3ds Max and Solidworks for CAM. If all I did was gaming, media and browsing, I’d switch. Which is why my HTPC, only used for couch gaming and media, is running Bazzite.

      I mean, you lose nothing for trying. Windows will still be on your machine if you dual boot or use live image.
