Well, my laptop's already there, but i really don't feel like dealing with system reinstallation on my games pc. It'll be much easier for me to just stick with W10 for the next few months, and then jump ship, seeing as the upgrade i have planned won't be using any components from my dekstop.

Linux is my daily driver. I used to struggle with it but it’s on point these days. Proton takes care of 90% of the gaming issues.

I can’t imagine ever going back to windows, I really can’t.

Do games work on proton on release day, or does it take work by the community or someone to get new games working?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve had good experience with it, just make sure to use proton experimental if it’s a new release.

I mean, i only ever use my current desktop for games. My laptop where i do basically everything else is already running mint.

Im waiting for something like silverblue and flatpaks to mature before moving.

projectbluefin.io takes silverblue and adds many of the things that you were likely to be waiting for. It did for me.

Mint is great.

I really like it with the Maté DE.

But trying to make cloud filesystems work is a pain in the ass

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Insync takes care of that. I even use Insync on Windows PC's as it's better than native cloud syncing apps from the likes of Google and Microsoft.

Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.
