Install Debian Mint on my old laptop and see how much I can get working on it. My ultimate ambition is to replace all my Windows 10 activity entirely by the end of 2024
I installed Debian in a dual boot in November and there's only one game I haven't got working yet. Everything else for work and fun has either worked or I've found a substitute.
Doing the same but with Fedora on my old desktop. I’ve been messing around with Linux for some time now but this is the first time I’ve tried to put a serious attempt into setting up a development environment and move to Linux for gaming.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get the games working. Now if I can just figure out how to get vortex or MO2 to work to mod Bethesda games I’ll be happy.
Took me some years (but man has Mint become better!).
I even have a little windows box for "all that stuff not working on Linux", scanner went over, big printer too, about everything except keepass(I have the 1.0 version so it's just lazyness) and, uh, photoshop but I'm working on it.
Totally worth it (for me), good luck!
