Linux

Running PikaOS (Niri) on a RYZEN 5800x3D and RTX 3080. No real issues to speak of aside of a few issues with some games. I still have another system with Windows 10 running android emulation (LD Player) for idle games other main games. VR... is on the back burner for now (used Windows 11 on another drive for that).

All in all, happy.

I've run Debian and Ubuntu servers for many years. I currently run Fedora on my laptop, and dual boot my desktop with Fedora and Win11 as I slowly plan out and implement my Linux translation. My one big holdup is the VR support still lacking, which I hope gets fixed by the Steam Frame's release.

My laptop got bazzite. I still have a Windows partition for a couple things. But it defaults to bazzite.

Built a new PC last January and started fresh with Win11 on one drive and Nobara on another. I was able to play all of the games I wanted on Nobara just fine. After a month or two I had a problem develop where I was unable to update because it would start giving errors and the update process wouldn’t complete.

I decided to try out Bazzite and have been with it ever since. I very very rarely boot into Windows. I highly recommend giving it a shot!

Doing okay. Switched from MacOS to Linux - Ubuntu and Tuxedo in the past four months. They are great for home use but I am not 100% ready to use them as my work computers. Yet. But hopefully soon. Gaming is great using Tuxedo, although it was a little difficult to install software on the KDE system as I had no real idea what I was doing :)

I want people on Nvidia hardware. None of this AMD shit. I already know AMD works great on Linux

I moved a couple months back fully and have tried quite a few distros (before I figured out the hardware issue I was having on my Acer laptop). I have mostly used Pop OS (pre-Cosmic) and now Nobara is my daily driver.

Nobara is fantastic, it suits my use case perfectly and has everything ready to go essentially. The set up was very smooth and maintenance is a breeze. I did try Cachy too (when i still had my annoying hardware fault) and would love to try it again at some stage but I'm settled on Nobara and feel like the Fedora base is the perfect platform for learning more Linux in depth.

I was initially in love with Gnome and hated KDE for how it tried to copy Windows with the bottom left menu - I wanted something fresher. But i have used it more and customised it so its less like Windows and I adore KDE now as well.

I still use Windows on a separate laptop for work and its hilarious how shit Windows 11 is now, especially in comparison to using such a beautiful desktop environment on my personal laptop. So many things are broken and I just hate the fact that its almost entirely spyware, being filled with vibe coded ai shite and they still try and serve you ads when searching for stuff.

Fuck Microslop! Will never buy another Windows machine.

I switched full-time last year. Went from windows 11 to fedora kde.

The switch took a bit of getting used to, and getting to know the innards of the distro (broke my sound typing pulse-audio related commands then discovering that fedora uses pipewire, this kind of stuff...)

But I'm kinda cheating since I've been using linux on all my other machines since windows 8 (had a hunch about imminent enshitification, windows 10 didn't contradict it and windows 11... ha!).

I've been using windows since the 9x days, windows 11 became unbearably shitty, despite my incredibly unbloated version (originaly a windows 7 install that got "upgraded" to 10 then 11), with unwanted features getting disabled as soon as they appeared. I had a windows 11 with a local account and no one-drive and they still disapointed me! (the last straw was copilot)

Now running linux full time is a real pleasure, some stuff break here and there but nothing unfixable (usually just downgrading the faulty package until it is fixed just works), games just work most of the time, the KDE desktop is the windows one but not shitty, from an alternate reality where desktop widgets took off, and where you are allowed to customise stuff. (had to wait years on windows 11 to finally get back the "display the window's title on the taskbar" option as I'm used to since 95)

The only thing I'm missing though : system-wide autoscroll bound to the mousewheel.

Went from win11 to Bazzite a little while ago and the experience has been pure bliss. I even set up a printer and I swear to God it only took 2 tries and it worked. That never would have gone so smoothly on Windows.

But the best of all? No more OneDrive!
