Imo the only thing better about windows is its support for gaming. But Linux has been getting better and better about that.
I'd bet that Linux will be almost completely caught up when support ends for Windows 10 in two years. That's probably when I will make the switch for my gaming PC.
You should start sooner so you'll be well prepared when support actually ends and that Win 11 abomination will be forced...
I'm not sure what preparing I would need that would require more than like a week. I'm already extremely comfortable with Linux. I used it on my work laptop for years before moving to a company that requires Windows.
I am in doubt about running Linux on my gaming system. As I need it to be as close to 100% compatible as possible for running games. Because I still have a lot of games on Steam that I haven't finished. So I don't want to lose the ability to play some of them.
One option if you still want to use both, is a Linux laptop. You could use that as your daily driver and then use Moonlight/Sunshine to stream from your gaming rig to laptop. Use a loopback HDMI plug on the rig and you largely have what amounts to a gaming server on your network.
Average added latency on my setup is 4ms so this works very well. I stream games at 120FPS at 1080p. Then when I'm done playing, I close the window. No dual booting annoyance and fully functional Windows 10.
I've been trying Linux since before Ubuntu existed. I switched this year to Crystal Linux (arch based), to make it short: I'm not going back to Windows ever again.
It all just works. There's minimal tweaking.
@warmaster Interesting. I've been using Manjaro as my primary for a while and I like it a lot but I've had some unpleasant interactions asking for help on the forums so I keep an eye out for other options.
Crystal has a Discord server and a bridged Matrix room, support is instantaneous and people are awesome. I'm super happy with it. I also tried Manjaro, I don't like their GUIs, and their work ethics.
Astrologically speaking? Probably not, no. I'd consider waiting until the time is better.
My astrology sign is a Ford Taurus, is it a good time for me?
You're looking better than you've looked in years. All signs point to yes. Unfortunately, you're still a Ford Taurus.
