I get the feeling that Lemmy has a relatively higher concentration of Linux users. I’m preparing to move over to Linux when I build my new computer. I already put Linux Mint Cinnamon edition on one of my old laptops and I like it quite a bit. I figure that since I’ve been wanting to switch over for years, I should just do it. The games were the thing holding me back, and Proton seems to have taken care of that(I don’t really play multiplayer games that require anticheat… I’m a singleplayer kind of girl).
For me, anyway, I want to switch because Windows has been creeping me out with its telemetry. Windows 11 looks lousy, and I’d have to jump through some hoops to get my old hardware on 11, anyway.
I use Linux on my personal PC and Steam Deck, Windows 10 on my work PC. If I could get away with using Linux at work, I would.
I switched to Linux 5 years ago or thereabouts and haven’t really looked back. I don’t really like multiplayer games so the odd title that doesn’t support anti-cheat on Linux is a non-issue for me. I distro hopped for a while, then settled on Manjaro for a couple of years. I’ve since moved to Arch, and have been using it for the past 2 years. At this point, I can’t see myself ever installing Windows on any device I own again.
