I'm not even on Windows 11, lol. Dodging so many bullets from that shithole OS.
The only things preventing me from going full on Linux is driver support/compatibility, full gaming (we're talking, things from GOG more than Steam) and using the same utilities that run better on Windows.
GOG Galaxy runs perfectly on Linux via Lutris. I use it all the time.
I made the switch from W10 to Pop_OS for my gaming rig about 2 months ago. Beyond some hiccups with the experimental branch of proton and just getting used to the new UI its been great. Come on in, they water is fine.
Yeah I use Garuda, but generally recommend kubuntu or mint for most people switching. Switching is so much less painful than I expected it to be
My current full-stop is lack of support for a lot of peripherals, particularly music equipment.
That is such a bummer, and I blame the music manufacturers.
I have a dedicated Linux laptop for all my guitar effects to replace the foot pedals. I have found I need to pay attention to what I buy to integrate into my system, but they are out there.
It's really unfortunate. Native Instruments seems to almost refuse to support Linux.
Thats fair, I was worried about my discontinued corsiar stuff but was suprised to find that the support was even better than the old driver and managment app I had on my old OS.
I switched in 2003, and I was happy to do it back then. I have an MSDN, support windows application development and back end Microsoft Services for a living. I still can't stand their crap.
I do everything I could do in windows, play games, and generally have a better experience. If I absolutely need to access a windows desktop, I can RDP in an pay as you go Azure virtual desktop. But I will never have windows at home again.
Lol
