Windows is basically malware now. My wife is forced to use W11 for work and she fucking hates it with a passion (and that’s the pared down IT version).

I pulled out my old gaming laptop that had been unplugged for quite a while and found it somehow updated itself to W11. I immediately wiped the computer and installed Nobara as the main OS. No regrets, no issues, and no half-assed bullshit.

Windows on the ASUS ROG Ally is absolute dog shit. It would constantly reboot to install unwanted updates that offered zero value on a handheld (let alone anything).

Nothing I own will ever run Windows.

Windows isn’t popular. It’s forced onto tons of prebuilt computers and most people wouldn’t know what to use instead. Fuck Windows. Rant over.

What's Nobara? I've never heard of that OS.

Gamer-focused derivative of Fedora Linux.

Oh, I think I might hop over to that when I switch over the OS on my gaming PC.

You could also try bazzite, it is based on fedora atomic desktops
