Nice!
I've been on windows for ages because of EA anti cheat which drives me nuts (I enjoy the random game of battlefield or FC with friends)
I really want to make the jump for other games like Sims 3 etc which this update is amazing for but EA enabling Linux will be the final nail to make me jump
Why not dualboot?
I'm actually taking the plunge
I've basically reset my SSD entirely and have two partitions - 600GB for windows with FC / BF and then the remaining for Bazzite
So far it's been easy breezy with steam and bazzite after the initial downloads (thankfully I have fast internet else I'd be back to waiting days 🥲)
That's so nice to hear! Welcome to the land of the great Tux
