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

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

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?

    That’s kinda where I’m at. Everyone says CatchyOS, CatchyOS, it’s smoother, stable, no issues. And I’m here on bazzite with all the same pros and cons list without seeing a different, I figured id try it myself since all the cons people seem to have on bazzite I haven’t had.

    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.

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.

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.
