  My PC doesn’t hit the requirements for windows 11. Yet it kept asking me to update. Been running Ubuntu ever since

    Same here, but I moved to Arch because I wanted the latest drivers, at the beggining with GNOME, but then moved to KDE to get the newest Wayland stuff related to Gaming.

      How difficult would you say is getting in to arch?

      • warmaster@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        No harder than any other distro, I came from Windows, distrohopped between 10 distros, and settled on Crystal Linux (arch based), after learning that KDE was better for gaming, I switched to Manjaro out of ignorance that Crystal already offered that DE.

    I just made this exact switch a few months ago, so, yeah, it happens.

        Almost a year here! Working great! (No, for real, modern desktop Linux experience is surprisingly refined, it’s more stable and performant than Windows!)

    I’ve been using linux on my secondary machine for a couple of years now and I don’t really feel the need to use Windows anymore.

      I made the switch to Linux Host OS 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. Plus the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 works with an RTX card and wireless game controller out of the box is enough to keep me interested for now.

      I made the switch to linux when Win7 died, cause Win10 is a giant PoS and I refused to ugrade to it, lol.

      Hopped a few Distros before settling on Nobara, which has given me the best “It just works” gaming experience.

  Try it on an external drive. I did that a couple years ago just to fool around and see if I liked it, within a week it was my main OS and I’ve barely used Windows since.
