Anything aside from actually moving away from Windows, eh?
- We reach the point, where the optimal windows install will include multiple complicated tinker steps for disabling intrusive features, while many Linux distro installs are nowadays pretty much streamlined and straightforward.
  Oh how the turntables...
- Gaming is and will always be the reason for majority of people. There was some incredible progress, but if I can't play everything I own on Linux, I won't switch. This comes from a guy who loves his Steam Deck.
  
  For me, gaming was a requirement, but I had enough of Windows and switched to Bazzite (Gaming centric preloaded Fedora Linux).
  It's really only kernel level anti-cheat games (Apex Legends, Valorant, Rainbow 6, etc.) that are incompatible now. If you're a co-op or single player gamer, I haven't had an issue.
  Of the current 1000 top played games, 90% are playable ProtonDB. Steam's playable rating is overly cautious in it's assessment.
  
  Also specific proprietary software people need to use for work. If you’re a design freelancer that cannot properly edit photoshop or illustrator files, customers are likely to go with another freelancer. That’s why many people dual boot for when they have to keep windows around, but this allows them to keep the evil side of their computer at least a little less evil.
- It's bad for normal people. The Linux community is still delusional about the desktop state and it's lack of easy use and compatible hardware.
  Now, here come 20 nerds to screech at me about how my issues aren't real and 10 years outdated.
  Running bazzite deck/desktop (gnome) and still have multiple issues configuring displays, audio, and getting games to work correctly.
  
  Every machine I have tried it on it works flawlessly. Actually it is Windows that now has weird driver issues with older hardware.
  Que CallMeAnAI, "I am trying to play COD on 4 monitors on newly released hardware and it doesn't werk!'
  
  Exactly this. I've been running Fedora for about 2 years now. I love it, but I'm NOT going to pretend it's "ready" yet. It's getting close, but there are enough edge cases it doesn't handle well that someone is very likely going to trip over at least one of them.
  
  Yes, finally someone sane that understand that most linux distro are SUCK !
  The only linux distro that very beginner friendly is Garuda Linux, i said that because that distro has garuda ranni package in it that help even the dumbass linux user to fix & tweaking the OS. No one other linux distros has come close what garuda team does, they singlehandedly making Arch easier to use & tweak even for the dumbass user.
  
  Skill issue. Sorry.
- Yeah, who really wants to play whack-a-mole with their own computer?
- They can’t handle Linux and Macs are for the gays
  
  Excuse me, what?
I prefer to use an OS that i don't constantly have to fight with.
- What would that be?
  
  I use Mint, by the way.
Unfortunately I have a lot of games that are not available on Steam (dlsite, DMM etc) and it's been very hit or miss on the deck so far
Been trying to find something on this. It debloats and removes apps. What apps exactly? Does it just pick random apps you haven’t used recently or what?
