    Yeah, it’s time for windows to die. My windows 10 computer i’m pretty sure everything on it would work on linux, so i’ll switch it over to Mint in a few weeks.

      I installed Pop OS on some old hardware “just to see what it’s like” 2 weeks ago and am already planning to switch my primary over by this weekend. If I can be done with Windows, I’ll be a happy man.

        I installed Pop OS on my ten year old laptop two days ago. I’m not sure it’s my forever distro, but it’s running fine now that I got the right nvidia driver set up. In any case, now that I’ve gone through the process, I feel a lot more confident that I can build a Linux desktop instead of buying a PS6 in a few years. I’ll probably go AMD to simplify the setup.

      A lot of stuff does run.

      • Steam (proton)
      • Heroic Launcher (Epic Games, Gog, Prime gaming)
      • Wine for additional Windows based Programs

      The only Thing that I do Miss, is Anti-Cheat Software for some games. Thats the only reason to keel dualboot, to Launch that Games on Windows. Besides that - screw Windows.

        I got GOG Galaxy working in Steam, through Proton, as an “Add a non-Steam Game”. I’ll have to try Heroic Launcher.
