Start dual booting with Linux just to give it a try so won't have to remove Windows as you give it a test drive. That's what I did and I found out that Linux isn't as bad or cryptic as some people make it seem. Haven't even booted into my windows in over a month now.

Linux is user-centric but it's also a giant pain in the ass to use. Right now my laptop boots up when I shut it down and close the lid, so I have a perpetually dead battery, and I can't seem to pass access to the camera to any apps at all. I also can't seem to get any video editors to utilize the GPU for rendering. That's just today's problems.

Laptops not designed for Linux sometimes have weird hardware problems -- someday I will buy a computer specifically built for Linux so everything works -- either that or get an old thinkpad and just live with it being slow.

Which online games are you trying to play? I've had pretty decent luck with most online games. Can even play Helldiver's 2.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Battlefield 1 and Warzone.

HellDivers 2 runs like a dream. It plays because it's not PvP.

The problem with every PvP game is that they refuse to allow players online unless they have kernel-level anticheat. That's a dealbreaker, and nobody will negotiate on it.

Nah. Just go all in with Slackware.
