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

    And I did it 18 months ago!

    (Spoiler: it turned out fine)

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

        And I never did. I just started with Linux Mint when I got my first laptop.

        But I do see the perspective of Windows users, perhaps. I did briefly try using Windows, but it was frustrating. I don’t know how to set anything in there. For some reason there’s 2 setting apps (control panel and settings), each only being partially usable. My Wi-Fi kept dying, the only solution was replacing the Intel Wi-Fi card for one from Qualcomm. Bluetooth only worked randomly like every 20th restart. Drivers for my 20 year old printer didn’t work in either 10 nor 11. Only up to Windows 7.
        Painful experience.

        Yeah but I use my pc to play games. And to read all the Linux coping strategies to run modern games with software bypasses or strategies… I don’t need to jailbreak and run through 150 pages of forums and guides so I can play my steam games.

  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.
