What else am I missing?
You're viewing a single thread.
I switched from Windows to Linux full time around Feb 2024.
I think Linux is ready for desktop use.
I switched in 2021 and I thought the same then.
I’m a Mac guy and I have a PC for gaming. I just installed Mint on my PC and it has been working great for gaming. I probably won’t need Windows ever again.
Most games work on Linux or with Steam Proton.
But some games still don't or has kernel level anti-cheat systems.
I would just ignore those games.
I stopped using Windows in the XP era. Later on I started working in a job that required me to have a Win8 laptop. 2 years later I reverted back to Linux once I stopped working there and had Win8/10 as a game OS. But my main "serious" usage was on Linux.
