    I’ve been using Linux since high school (I dropped out in December 2006)

    I recently got an old PC from a friend, it’s a 2018 PC and the hard drive is NVME. It’s at least 4 times faster than my “adata” brand SSD from my 2018 PC. I barely tinkered with Windows and gaming capabilities and pretty much installed Ubuntu within 24 hours of trying this PC. It can’t run Windows 11 and there’s no point in using Windows 10.

    Linux is good, the core OS has been great for a long long time (decades). It’s just the desktop environment situation that has sucked, and, of course, gaming before proton.

    If you want to play games Bazzite actually does work pretty well. I went back to Fedora though and I literally spent hours trying to fix issues with just the Steam flatpak (it was overwriting my controller mappings every open). If you’re a gamer just stick with Bazzite.

    I think I’m destined to for NixOS though, as my least favourite thing about linux is doing sudo fooctl enable bloopblorp and having no clear log/information about what exact state the system is in.

      You should install Steam on your distro’s native package manager, it’s always better than flatpak since it doesn’t have to deal with file permissions.
