I swapped to Linux last year and haven't regretted it at all. I can even style it to look like my favourite older windows designs. My laptop has vista style desktop widgets, which are just as useless as they were back then but I love them.
This is the way 🙂
I might end up doing that. It works really well for basics. Unfortunately it limits the options for games and I'm not hugely good at doing any further stuff with commands
Nah, gaming these days is on par with Windows. The steam deck runs Linux so valve put a lot of work into games in steam just working.
That sounds promising. I just saw fewer options. Maybe it's time to head over to Linux Gaming and see what they have there
I’ll probably end up doing this on the laptop, but on the gaming rig sadly it’s just not an option.
It's totally an option. Valves steam deck runs arch Linux and steam proton usually works out of the box to make games run.
Isn't steam OS still a thing?
