-W11 sucks so much I was gonna move to Linux regardless and that happens to coincide with a time in my life where I want to waste less time playing games.
Steam has done something amazing, I hope GOG follows at some point.
But W11 as an OS, the state surveillance style telemetry and some other recent developments surrounding MS made me largely ditch gaming in favour of Linux. I mean sure I’ll play a game here n there but I don’t feel like investing hours of my days into the next “big thing” anymore. Linux is where it’s at.
It works great for me. I control a multifx through VM. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on other hardware (perhaps the off chance it’s very peculiar about online connectivity or such but I haven’t encountered it)
Ok maybe “always” is a bit strong but let’s say 9 out of 10.
Mint is an awesome choice to start. It’s got a nice balance between slim and enough features to get you going.
Keep in mind at all times: at some point you’re gonna need that one piece of external hardware to play nice with Linux or maybe that one piece of software ain’t doing it like you’re used to.=> there is a way or an alternative. Always keep calm, research the topic, and follow instructions carefully and thoughtfully when you find a tutorial.
That aside enjoy it, a little slice of freedom away from big tech awaits.
Jup, that’s it.
