Four solid months into my Linux journey, and I had a realization:

I will never need Microsoft Windows again, for anything. I really cannot express how liberating this feels.

It feels like escaping the matrix.

I have used Linux before, in an old, bare bones capacity. The only reason I am currently using Windows is gaming.

@starraven Unless you're playing games with anti-cheat that doesn't support Linux, gaming is pretty good now.

@starraven @prime I have been running debian based Linuxes since around 2009. Our mac laptops stopped getting MacOSX updates over ten years ago and have been running Linux since then.

I bought a relatively modest gaming PC recently as the junior members of our family now want to play more advanced computer games. It is running LinuxMint 22.

All the Windows Steam games we have tried so far have run perfectly under Steam's Proton compatibility layer.

Which is a pretty impressive achievement.

Linux even runs Star Citizen.
