I switched to Linux full time almost two years ago when Win 10 started saying my CPU wasn't supported. My CPU is in the i7 family and I think they all got that treatment. Since then I've had no major issues with Linux Mint. As for gaming, I do get some frame drops with my Nvidia 3060, but I was getting the same on Windows.

i've just installed cachy, yesterday. been working fine so far. I can even double click to install .exe files, but.. it didn't handle installing battle.net that well, so... i had to do it manually, but that worked fine.

So far no issues. Fast, and easy. even more customizable out of the box, than windows.

if you haven't tried it, i highly recommend you give it a go. it's free.

I'd love to roll back to Linux but my GPU and the drivers don't get along very well.

I have a 3080 and run Mint without any real issues, what sort of problems have you found come up?

Which GPU do you have? There are plenty of distros that work just fine with Nvidia.
