After having run Windows on my desktop for years (as I thought it was necessary for gaming), I decided to take the plunge to try out Linux again... (fedia.io)

... and it's much, much better than I anticipated. Proton has solved so many things. I've been dual booting on a smaller partition so far, but this has convinced me to wipe the whole disk and use it for Linux only. I might still keep a dual boot in case there is some edge case, but nothing so far has been an issue. I've been running Pop_Os! which I also have on my laptop since some year back. Previously I've also always had Arch on my laptop, but always stuck with Windows for my desktop just because of gaming issues.

Sadly I just gave up on bazzite/aurora after tinkering with it for months.

Bazzite somehow nuked itself after a couple failed upgrades and eventually couldn’t even get to the boot loader. I searched around and the only GitHub issue basically said that there is corruption in the drive and to just reinstall.

so I tried aurora today, installed ok but then wouldn’t boot lol. Switched to pop os with cosmic and no problems.

Love the idea of ublue, but there are just weird problems with it for now.
