I’ve tried and gaming is a lot better than it was, but I still prefer Windows in that department though I do stick with SteamOS for the Steam Deck and haven’t bothered running Windows on it.
Windows on steam deck is the most awful experience. There is a reason why tablet PC’s and non-laptop portables failed until apple used fanboy power to make tablets viable again.
yeah. I have a tiny-pc (whatever the ultra sff is called now) that will run w10 forever - supported or not, for a specific use-case, but the desktop i’m trying to transition to will be linux. already moved my laptop to linux (both mint because it’s easy). have a different laptop that was decent 10 years ago that I use as a testbench to try out other, non-mint distros.
long term i’ll move to 3x computers but daily really only use two.
That’s all well and good, but choosing Microsoft is choosing their bullshit too. It’s your right to choose, but if you’re sharing a rowboat with an alligator don’t be amazed when it eats your chicken. (or something like that)

yeah I’m mid transition myself - probably switch for good when win10 goes EoL. I tried win11 and hate it.
Same here. Tried Windows 11 on my kid’s PC and hated it.

I’ve done something different. I just have two computers. One for just playing games (windows), and one for everything else (Mac).
