I installed Fedora 40 on my desktop a couple of weeks ago to test if I could run it as a daily driver for gaming, streaming and studying.

So far gaming has been remarkably better than I thought. Steam works like a charm and the few games I've played boot up out of the box. I've even managed to play an Epic Game Store game (was free so we grabbed it from there) with a friend online. This can be done via Heroic Game Launcher.

Studywise it has all I need for coding and text editing.

The only thing I haven't been able to fully test (busy) is streaming, but I did set up OBS already and managed to get HW encoding to work on an AMD GPU.

Still does take a little too much tinkering on the streaming side for a non computer savvy person (edit: not me, but someone like my wife for example), but I'm seriously considering about ditching Windows altogether if I don't encounter anything critically borked in the coming weeks. The only game breaker in the foreseeable future I can think of will be whether or not I can fully dev and study MS Azure stuff in Linux, but I'd wager it's not going to be a problem.

Those trains sure are weird and confusing, with their back and forth those tracks and all. Makes you wonder about train safety, it does!

Walt for GOTY edition (or whatever that bullshit is called) to go on sale and then consider buying.
