I've been on Linux for 6 months now full time. I have a small windows install to play Battlefield and Marathon when I feel the urge.
Using linux has been eye opening. Feeling ownership over my PC and not being bombarded with bullshit is so refreshing.
It's not perfect, Linux has plenty of issues due to it not being the market leader, but it's a lot less frustrating when Linux is broken because it's not broken on purpose, whereas at this point I very much feel windows is shit on purpose.
Isn't it wonderful? Been on it a couple of years now and my only complaint is that I didn't switch sooner.
It feels like what owning a PC was always supposed to be like. Complete control.
Switched back in my teens and didn't look back. In those days getting stuff running was so much harder too. Now we have stuff like proton and lutris.
