Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

I switched maybe like two years ago now. I only had issues on one game but a bit later it just worked not sure what changed. I know EA stuff doesn't work so haven't really messed around with that. I check protonDB a lot to see game compatibility.

The biggest issue for me was getting a handle on a photo workflow for myself after switching and leaving lightroom/adobe behind. I use darkroom now which I'm still learning but I have a basic workflow down pretty well.

I built up a PC for my cousin for gaming and put bazzite on there, she hasn't really noticed anything being her first personal PC so thats pretty good, I've gone from popOS, to arch to bazzite

Bazzite with gnome is mostly painless. I have been using that on my desktop for about a year now, I have fedora with kde on my laptop and its also pretty good.

In case you didn't know, there's Aurora OS which is immutable fedora with KDE plasma, very much like bazzite or any of the uBlue spins. I have been using it on a laptop for a while now and I am extremely happy with it.

I did not, but I started on fedora silverblue and rebased to bazzite because the bazzite installer wasn't working for me a year ago. I think all in all, I prefer gnome even as a wondows expat.
