I started the switch over last night. Installed Kubuntu on a spare external ssd. Got Steam installed, figured out how to select the drivers I needed for my nvidia gpu. Even got remote desktop access to the game server I'm running. Linux has amazing capabilities built in, I'm impressed. Took some work to get Enshrouded running on Steam this afternoon (probably not the best game to start off with, it's problematic) but after a good bit of trying different options it started up. If I can get Orca running for my 3d printer, there really isn't much I'm going to miss from Windows.

I got over 400 hours on Enshrouded on KDE Fedora, it runs very smooth if you have the hardware, and enshrouded has high demands for that hardware.

It's running great now, played a couple hours this afternoon. Only problem I had was a connection loss with the game server once. That could be anything, not unusual. Otherwise runs really smoothly.
