Got a new laptop about a month ago. Put Fedora Bluefin on it immediately. Couple other computers/server have been running Debian flavors for year or two.
My main desktop is still Windows, but I literally never use it, especially since getting the laptop. I'll switch it over when I get time.
I'm still tied to windows for three apps. I've found a Linux replacement for one, I just haven't done the work to convert the database.
Another one I'm trying to run it's Android version in a waydroid docker, but I'm hitting walls, no time to dig deeper.
And the last one has no replacement, and it's too delicate to try emulating, I don't want to nuke the shared database it's attached to, it's not worth the headache. So I keep a Windows VM around for the once a month I need to use that program for 🤷♂️
I'm purposely being vague about the programs, they are very identifying, but trust me there's no alternatives.
Even with all that, I'm not looking back, win11 sucks.
