literally just learned of it through some random reddit comment (the comment was about how it really fixes issues with AMD gpu drivers).

good? trustworthy? pros and cons? good for first linux os?

i've been lazy and have been riding out my windows 10 extension but this actually seems really easy with clear instructions to set up a dual boot and slowly hand over more of my hdd space to it. also seems pretty secure, open source, etc but i just want to make sure it's not sus

Are you on a different distro now in which that doesn't happen? Or did it happen on every Linux install? I'm not saying you did anything 'wrong', but "the tech isn't ready" doesn't square with me since I've been running Bazzite for a few years now (after multiple other distros), first on Nvidia then on AMD, with minimal issues. I know some specific hardware configurations can be weird, but it's usually similar across any distro in that case.

I tried bazzite, ubuntu and linux mint with the same problems for all those distress. I just the bullet and reinstalled windows. Gotta have my treats...

Proton will often perform slightly worse than Windows, but at times can perform better. This isn't surprising as you're adding a layer of complexity.

The tech is absolutely there. Some devs have been lazy, and refuse to support Linux, but that's nothing new.
