Probably like many of you i switched to Linux. I first used it in 2012 when i heard about it in School. Back then i used Ubuntu, but could not figure it out how to play my Games on CD, DVDs and Steam so i switched back to Windows.
Over the Years i often tried it out again but had various problems with it.
Now, thanks to the Trump Donald, i have a real reason to no longer use Microshaft Proudcts. Our Boycott!
So far i tried Linux Mint, KDE Neon, Kubuntu, ZorinOS, PopOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Gnu Guix, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Antergos. That is over 10 years.
What i found out:
- i dont like gnome, i find the ui weird. xfce is too cobbled together imo and ugly, lxqt too.
- i like kde and budgie
- im currently on kubuntu and gnu guix :)
Linux is kind of hard coming from windows, but i wont switch back now. It is more than just using a OS, it is now a mindset: more independent Europa! Maybe i will even switch to OSS that is made by European Firms and Developers, afterall if i donate i want my money to stay in Europa.
Been using bazzite for about 6 weeks now. It was so easy to install and maintain. Sure, the computer have had a couple of hard freezes so I had to reboot but I regret nothing. Everything feels so fast and responsive. Making it look and behave as I want it to is super easy.
I use my computer for gaming, watching streams and have my kids watch cartoons every now and then on my second monitor while I play games. Everything just works. Was a bit worried about splitting the sound between different outputs but even that was easier than on windows.
Sure, there are things that isn’t perfect or needs some more thinking at times but those are my own projects and I like to thinker a bit too. If I didn’t want to tinker anything I would just go console gaming instead.
loving bazzite too for gaming and development
nixos for servers and low power laptops as well
If you get tired of having an immutable distro, try Garuda, it’s where I ended up after Bazzite. It’s been super easy and has a lot built in for gaming.
