And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

I am running mint on my dell and the only thing i am surprised is the bad battery life on Linux. I'm getting 1 hour backup while on windows i was getting close to 3 hours. Can someone help me out here?

Check the power saving settings of your desktop environment. Also check the CPU performance settings if they are separate.

My only thing holding me back is my kids play Roblox and for the life of me I can't get it working since they blocked it last year. Tried all the troubleshooting, vinegar, juice box, etc nothing works

i play roblox through vinegar all the time and it works perfectly out of the box

I use Grapejuice. It's a simple flatpak that I can install and it just works. You just need to go into its settings and choose between Vulkan, D3D11 or something else if the performance isn't good.

EDIT: just found out about Vinegar, I'll try it later. Apparently it's better than Grapejuice

EDIT 2: the game doesn't launch with it even after following the troubleshooting instructions, so if this doesn't work for you use Grapejuice

I think the only devices in my house that aren't running Linux are running VXWorks or some random embedded OS. Been this way for ages.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've heard that steam vr does not work well on Linux. Is that still the case? Occasional vr is the only thing keeping me from nuking my windows install.

Running Steam VR using Proton works great for me.
