A year of Linux desktops indeed. I’ve switched PC and a laptop to Linux and guess what? Works better, faster, more secure and I fucking love it.

Never ever going back to Windows. I might run win10 in virtual pc, but never main host and nothing => 11

Yepppp.

Played around with all of them for a bit. Settled on Bazzite. Dead simple to install and use and it has t given me any issue at all.

Pop OS was kind of nice too, but it needs another year in the oven.
