    I just installed Linux and holy shit it is so much easier and more straight forward than a windows install. Really wish I would have done it sooner.

      It’s funny because while some of it has to do with work to make Linux desktops better, a non-trivial amount of it is how worse Microsoft has made it to deal with Windows.

        Also, some (most) annoyances with installing Linux, still, is primarily due to Microsoft managing to fuck things up in subtle ways.

      Which distro ? I’ve been rocking Bazzite for a year, and holy mother of christ, it requires less maintenance than my smartphone.

        I’ve been rocking endeavourOS.
        It’s really nice, but I hear great things about bazzite. I’m going to have to take bazzite & steamOS for a spin

          If you like endeavourOS, CachyOS is really good too. It’s also Arch based and includes a really fast custom kernel. It also has lots of gaming enhancements whatever that means. I’ve been trying to spread the word, not a lot of people seem to know about it. I hear Bazzite is pretty good as well. I definitely need to try it out.

        That’s actually what I went with too. I considered Mint and Pop!OS but really my PC is a gaming machine with a nvidia card. A friend recommended bazzite and its exactly what I was looking for.

          Is it me or is it really something truly extraordinary? In the sense that it requires zero maintenance, it just works.

      Yeah. Windows install and Linux install quietly switched which was the difficult shitty experience sometime when I wasn’t watching.
