Hi hello, this is partly me. My bad. I’m not moving to Win11 (by force and by choice) so I installed Arch just to start to get the hang of things and, well, now I’m just daily driving it.

I’ve run distributions in the distant past and toyed with recent ones. I think this one is staying though.

Feels good that when my computer is idle, it’s not busy spouting off telemetry to some server somewhere. I can customize way more than before, and with Proton, I can still play the games I want to.

The arch wiki is shockingly detailed at times. I’m very impressed.

I like Arch, but honestly the Arch wiki is one of the great contributions made to the Linux community, with value exceeding the distro itself.

Hi you, this is me too, didn't want to buy new hardware too just because MS wants me to. i went with Nobara because it liked my Nvidia GPU a lot more than many other distros, and deleted my windows partition after 3 days - i expected it to take a lot longer than that to feel safe doing that, but it just works and i can do more with my PC than i ever could with windows.

We are doing our part :-)
