… and it’s much, much better than I anticipated. Proton has solved so many things. I’ve been dual booting on a smaller partition so far, but this has convinced me to wipe the whole disk and use it for Linux only. I might still keep a dual boot in case there is some edge case, but nothing so far has been an issue. I’ve been running Pop_Os! which I also have on my laptop since some year back. Previously I’ve also always had Arch on my laptop, but always stuck with Windows for my desktop just because of gaming issues.

      Sadly I just gave up on bazzite/aurora after tinkering with it for months.

      Bazzite somehow nuked itself after a couple failed upgrades and eventually couldn’t even get to the boot loader. I searched around and the only GitHub issue basically said that there is corruption in the drive and to just reinstall.

      so I tried aurora today, installed ok but then wouldn’t boot lol. Switched to pop os with cosmic and no problems.

      Love the idea of ublue, but there are just weird problems with it for now.

      What do you do though when you need to compile a driver for some hardware you have and install it manually on Bazzite? Recently had that case, and switched to Mint because of it.

        driver for what? I put all my old people on bazzite so I’m not maintaining 3 versions of windows and several linux distros and so far everything works except one printer I had to install the driver via rpm-ostree.

    Strongly agree! I switched as well, so did my wife and its glorious. We‘re both avid gamers and no issues so far. We have strong opinions about intrusive anti cheat software so that helped.

    I did make a windows vm for my wife since she needs to work with adobe sometimes and it seems to work perfectly so far.
