I don't have much experience with Linux, but I do have some. I'm thinking of leaving Windows as I'm trying to focus more on privacy and less AI.

I tried a Bazzite bootable install, and everything seemed to work great except for one thing- the RGB on my XPG ram sticks. OpenRGB controlled everything except those sticks as they went undetectable by the software. I tried the latest experimental OpenRGB build with no improvements.

That seems to be the only incompatible bit. While annoying it's not a deal breaker. How do you feel about using bazzite on a higher end desktop for gaming and as a daily driver? I don't play any games that use kernel anticheat.

UPDATE: Installed it this morning. Went with the Gnome version. Really enjoying it so far! Still getting everything situated, but I'm a happy camper. Thanks for the help, everyone :)

It's easier to install windows 11 second maybe? I just reinstalled windows on my 2nd drives 2nd partition a week ago. But I also og dualbooted windows first before uninstalling windows a year ago, only got it back for the two ganes I mentioned. It's super straightforward explained in plain language with pictures. It's genuinely easier to install any Linux distro than it is windows, windows doesn't even come with wifi drivers and installing them manually doesnt work, I have to go ethernet cable every time.
