    i’m so happy with my decision to switch some years ago. in my case, valve’s proton was it.

    highly recommend if you can. linux can indeed be a bit frustrating to get used to but once i did, it transformed the way i use computers for the better.

    take the last year of support for windows 10 as an opportunity to dual boot in preparation for the windowsmageddon.

      It has gotten so much easier too. I started with Ubuntu on an old laptop to try it out back in ~2017. I had some ‘learning experiences.’ This year, it took almost no effort to slap bazzite on a machine, do a few small tweaks using a GUI settings app, no terminal activity needed, and let even someone who has never used a CLI just get on with their day with basically no issue. At this point, the only issue is a handful of software, specifically Adobe and their nonsense.

        definitely. back then some games needed me to compile cherrypicked patches to enable it to run, or some extra features. generally a bunch of fiddling around. today it’s pretty much plug and play.
