I finally committed to the switch last weekend. My desktop PC was the last holdout still on Windows in my fleet, because of Adobe Lightroom. I decided to just force myself to learn Darktable, and nuked the Win 11 install and replaced it with Fedora 43.

Fun side note, some of my games run way better than they did on Windows, despite not having native Linux builds. lol.

My bottles borked my battle.net install somehow so instead of tackling the issue I’ll put it off for months/years and continue dual booting

  everyone goes through that phase. logs often help a lot, and you will start to get a feel for what may be wrong. once some things become second nature you will stop needing windows.
  
  i usually favor lutris for gaming anyway, it’s better at keeping everything together and updated ime.

  you can just run battlenet through steam:
  
  add the installer as non-steam game
  
  set compatibility to proton experimental
  
  launch/install
  
  find the filepath for the battlenet .exe
  
  change the filepath for the target of the battlenet installer to the .exe instead
  
  never touch it again; it just works!
  
  a tiny bit of effort, but only required once. everything afterwards just works!
