They really want me to shift my gaming PC to Linux. Gaming is the only reason it's still in windows 10.

But now? Ads? Full time spying? And they choose to do all this at a time when proton is making gaming on Linux easier than ever?

Okay then. Heck. I'll gladly help my friends install Linux in their main device.

Hey government. This includes all your devices too. I'm sure you'll be able to turn it off, and by some bug oversight it just hides everything but not actually turn it off.

Do something about it. Stop blindly trusting bigcorp to do the right thing. They've proven time and time again they WILL NOT.

I switched over a year ago. Love it.

I can't make my mind up over a distro tbh.

I've used Ubuntu for a long time, but I absolutely hate snap packages.

Doubting between endeavoros, garuda and popos. Imnsure they're all viable, though my main experience has been with apt and Debian based distros

Mint & popOS are both Debian tree distros and Ubuntu derivatives without the snap cruft.

They work fine for gaming in my experience as any linux native game is always tested against ubuntu and I've had no issues with Steam/proton for windows games.

No EAC anti cheat compatability for Linux of any flavour of course.
