After having run Windows on my desktop for years (as I thought it was necessary for gaming), I decided to take the plunge to try out Linux again... - eviltoast

… and it’s much, much better than I anticipated. Proton has solved so many things. I’ve been dual booting on a smaller partition so far, but this has convinced me to wipe the whole disk and use it for Linux only. I might still keep a dual boot in case there is some edge case, but nothing so far has been an issue. I’ve been running Pop_Os! which I also have on my laptop since some year back. Previously I’ve also always had Arch on my laptop, but always stuck with Windows for my desktop just because of gaming issues.

      Actually really good. Deckyloader took care of a lot of the stuff I needed for the legion go’s native controller and so on. Only thing that’s bugging me at the moment is for some reason I can’t control or change the RGB for the thumb sticks or power button. The setting isn’t in the controller settings where it should be. But everything else just works, and it’s been great so far.

        Nice.

        Linux gaming has made insane leaps over the last few years, really starting to close off my last windows needs.

          I have 4 maybe 5 games that I can’t run on Linux to my satisfaction ATM. We’ll see how that plays out as things develop more, but so far I’m very happy with my decision to run Bazzite.
