All at a time where I think I’m actually going to switch to Linux.

I just tried out an install on my laptop and boy does it work well even for gaming.

Windows has, nothing I actually need any more?

It feels really big to really leave Windows for good, but, I think it’s going to happen after a bit more testing of my Linux setup.

I told myself I’d give Win11 (using tools to uninstall all the bullshit/tracking) for 3-4 months before seriously considering linux. I made it 3 months, got tired of having to re-uninstall shit I don’t want every update and just flat out wiped the install and installed CachyOS. It’s been perfect, even new game releases like Death Stranding 2 worked out of the box, fuck windows.
Aww yeah love to hear these stories!
