The beloved lightweight distro

I've been debating making the switch for a long time, but after spending like a week researching Proton, Lutris etc. on Linux, I decided to try it out and nuked my entire Windows 11 drive. :)

So far, every game I threw at it works perfectly fine, including Elden Ring & Cyberpunk.

I had to spend a little time troubleshooting some small issues but it's part of the fun!

Specs are in the neofetch, my compositor / WM is Wayfire (Wayland) :)

Thank you. For sure, I could recommend Arch to beginners. I used to recommend Ubuntu but I'm not so sure about it anymore, it seems to have gone corporate with Caninocal's "Ubuntu One" etc. Linux Mint is also another distro I'd recommend to beginners.

I tried pop os a while ago and it wasn’t enough to ditch windows, but I wanted to come back to it in the future. Well … the future is now - do you know about how Pop os looks right now?

Well, I haven't used Pop!_OS myself, but it's all Linux, so the concepts are the same. You'll have Steam, Lutris, Proton, it's all applicable. And it uses ubuntu/debian as a base, so you should have all your apps available, or good alternatives.

Great, thank you!
