Honestly I don't really have time to figure out how I can run Linux and do the same that I can on Windows, deal with the bugs etc. But the propaganda I'm being fed here is dangerously close to convincing me.
Propaganda?! Here on hexbear? What are you talking about :fidel-cool:
Why don’t you start replacing the programs you use with open source ones? For example, instead of Microsoft Office you should use LibreOffice, qBittorent for torrenting, VLC for video and so on… all of these programs are cross platform so you will be able to use them when you switch to Linux.
Linux is actually very stable (the internet runs on it after all) so you can try Kubtunu (Ubuntu with KDE Plasma) out without worrying about bugs or stuff like that. You can also try it out in a virtual machine or from a USB which will help you make an informed decision.
This all sounds great and convincing. I'd probably do it if I had more time! But therein lies the problem :(
Also there are certain big-corpo applications I need to use for work, plus I've heard of some problems when it comes to gaming. But other than that I only really use open-source stuff other than Spotify.
If most of your games are on steam they will run happily with proton. You just have to set steam to beta channel and enable proton in the settings.
Pretty much the only games this will not work with are a few with strict anti-cheat. Also keep in mind that NVIDIA hates you so if you use one of their cards there will be dragons.
Just set up a dual boot and do what you can on linux tbh.
Forums and support boards are far more useful for figuring things out than windows equivalents.
If i have a problem on windows and google it. Its like 10 links from notavirus.ru and then a Microsoft forum where they're like "did you try reinstalling?"
under linux its more like "ah this problem stems from this, modify this, with this command"
I honestly get more crashes and bugs under windows and I'm a daily Linux user.
