The fact that you get a full OS for free, customizable and no crappy forced in features that you don’t want is amazing.
I can stress enough that my experience with Linux has been resoundingly positive, it’s almost like that finnish bill gates guy made a golden goose of an OS.
Ever since I upgraded my WiFi to pcie and moved to Fedora, it has been nothing but smooth sailing.
• AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike
•Customize Fedora to my liking, made it more like windows with the extensions provided
• What’s this? A software app store? Swell! I no longer need to download stuff off from dodgy sites or numbingly installing everything manually!
• The mascot of Linux? 10/10 and penguins are one of my 2nd favourite animals
How was your experience with this Unix-like wonder? In a home user manner and/or a business use manner?
Let me know!
Used to tip my toes in Linux world circa 2011 as a kid. I found Ubuntu easier to set up than Windows, but the software catalogue was lacking (games, Adobe software).
Came back to it in 2021 when I read about Valve’s commitment to Wine/Proton and DXVK. Tried out Ubuntu once again but I found it unreliable - random lockups, UI bugs (AMD GPU). Whenever I had an issue my answers were featured on Arch wiki, so I thought “why not Arch then”. That and many memes about femboys/trans girls (haii ^^) using Arch made me try it out and… I stayed with it. Would occasionally reboot to Windows for games with anti-cheat and VR, but over time I kept using Windows less and less.
Fast forward to this year, since April my PC is no longer tainted by Microsoft. All of the games I play work on Linux with no quirks to them, KDE Wayland supports screen tearing so I can play competitive games on it, SteamVR works good enough so don’t have to dualboot anymore.
Kinda glad I learned all of this, as Windows is going downhill with all of the hardware requirements and AI buzzwords
