The real fix was not using Win11 all along.

The real fix is running Linux.
In the last year, I’ve found that on my main machine, fedora is FINE.
I mostly surf, I’m not a gamer, and for me Linux ticks the boxes I need
YMMV you should do you; but my daily driver as a Linux box has been flawless

All I want for Xmas 2025 is for Autodesk to support Linux.

Yeah, the sad reality is that there are some critical pieces of software that just outright refuse to support other OSes. Personally, I’m forced to use Macs at work because QLab is the industry standard for my line of work, and that software is only available on Mac.

My condolences to you. At least it’s only at work.

The thing is, I game. And I’ve found CachyOS to be performing better on games than Windows. In fact, I’m running Expedition 33 with forced FSR4 on a Navi 2 GPU (which isn’t supposed to support FSR4) and it performs better than with FSR3 on Windows. That honestly surprised me. Unfortunate that FSR is becoming a requirement for so many modern games (thanks UE5). And then there’s anticheat…

I might give catchyOS a try. I’ve been in bazzite for almost a year and haven’t had any issues.

But wait… If you haven’t had any issues, why bother trying something else?

To clarify, I use cachyOS packages on arch. So, I can’t give a review of the distro itself. But the packages do work really well for gaming, especially their kernel and their proton variant. I use GNOME and force Proton to use Wayland and FSR4. So far, so good.

Fedora (like pretty much any distribution) runs most games just fine.

As a gamer, Linux is great. Thanks to proton, I’m able to play all my games without issue and I don’t have Windows bloating the machine or interrupting my gameplay.
