Been straight Linux since 2005ish. It’s definitely really improved just before COVID - things just work now without fiddling. In the past yeah, I had to fiddle quite a bit to make things work and write up some scripts for installs that would break next patch, but now I’m almost done a Witcher 3 play-through on Linux without even needing to adjust a thing.
Yeah honestly, it’s great so far. I tried searxng for quite awhile and it did the trick somewhat, but damn SEO farms were my biggest pet peeve. The time I save is worth the money
