Experience: I have a bit of experience with Linux. I started around 2008, distro-hopped weekly, decided on Debian until around 2011, when I switched to Windows as I started getting interested in gaming. Tried switching back around 2015, this time using Arch Linux for about a month, but had some bad experiences with gaming and switched back to Windows. I have had a Debian and Arch VM in Virtual Box since then for testing different applications and a more coherent environment to work with servers.
Understanding: Which brings me to now, I am really interested in using Linux for gaming, I know there is Proton from Valve and that they have been really pushing Linux gaming forward with it.
Thoughts: I have been contemplating dual booting by installing Debian to an SSD and simply using the UEFI boot menu to choose instead of having to install to the EFI of Windows.
I guess, I should just do it, as it won’t affect my Windows installation, and I could test different games and if all works well, move over. This would also allow me to try different distributions, though my heart is for Debian, I even like Debian Unstable.
Note: I am sorry for the wall of text, I am just kind of anxious I guess.
@kratoz29@mouse I have heard this for the last 20 years…but i don’t care . it has been for me since 1995 (when it was really hard to get x-windows going)…started with slackware…
I have heard this is the year of Linux, so I’d say yes /s
@kratoz29 @mouse Every year is the year of Linux. Poor Windows, let’s see when it’s his turn.
It’s the year of the Linux desktop
In other news half life 3 might be coming out soon
As you didn’t include “/s”
I’ll trust you with my heart.
