Finally using Linux full-time thanks to PopOS - Lemmy.ca

I’ve been using Linux on and off for about 15 years, but was never able to make the leap to using it full-time until PopOS. It’s been painless to use and does everything I need with only minor tweaks. Thank you System76! I can’t wait until the Cosmic DE is released. (too bad about the name, though…)

I use Linux all over for my server hosting, but not desktop OS. Out of curiosity, what were the things that held you back from using it full time? (Others feel free to share too please)

I will go first - gaming. I do also have a SteamDeck so I am fully aware that there has been lots of advancements there and that is great. For the most part, the games I currently play seem to play just fine on it (and I know some of that could be the Deck more than Linux itself). With all that said, I am still skittish about fully committing as my main desktop OS.

Can’t play the games I want. Destiny 2 is the holdup currently.
There are definitely sacrifices going to Linux for gaming. I feel like proton and the steam deck are just now opening the door for Linux gaming to be taken somewhat seriously. The more users switch, the more seriously we’ll be taken as customers, I hope anyways. And hopefully those sacrifices will become less and less.
I actually keep a wish list of things that I need on Linux before I can move fully over. We’re getting closer every day. :)
