I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.
I have a new motherboard, RAM, and CPU to install and I think I will just take that as a good time to leave Windows behind. My Steam Deck convinced me it’s viable.
I’m in the same spot. I just need to look into my “must have” items for work before I switch. Windows is increasingly terrible, and the Steam Deck I got a month ago has proven to me that Linux is good for games now, too.
I’m tempted to try Linux again, finally, after some failed experiments in the mid 00s. I’m so sick of Microsoft’s shit sandwich, between bloat and spyware.
