    Firstly: I feel seen.

    Secondly: it’s working, SteamOS is so nice. I haven’t been this interested in Linux since the XP to 7 transfer. And I think imma’ actually do it this time.

      It’s almost like an OS that wants to be useful is a better experience than an OS that wants to push you ads and steal everything you produce to feed into llm slop-generation.

        This is a lie! Nobody should read his comment, instead they should check out Raid Shadow Legends the epic, turn-based RPG that’s taken the mobile gaming world by storm!

          I haven’t actually seen a raid ad in years at this point. (Except your hopefully ironic comment, so good job unironically promoting them)

          I don’t know if it’s just my sponsorblock + adblock combo or if their gorilla advertising has fallen off, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask

      I’m in the same boat. I am really not interested in Windows 11 at all, especially after using it at work. My primary hesitation has been video game playability in the past but the steam deck has really expanded how many games are playable on Linux and I also play a lot more games on consoles than I did a few years ago

        I was you. I installed Mint and the only issue I had was with a hard drive that was being shared by both systems (dual booting) that had all my games on it. It was a symlink issue.

        Bite the bullet. The startup time alone is worth it.

      Same. I didn’t realise it at the time but the steam deck led to the media PC, which led to the laptop and finally the gaming rig fell. I dual booted but haven’t gone back in so long i am now eyeing up the windows disks to get more space.

      Today I found Organic Maps, which seems a nice FOSS alternative to Google. Freedom feels good.
