I switched from Windows 10 to Mint. While there is a steep learning curve with basic things like adding an icons to the menu, I'm wishing I made the move earlier. There is a noticeable performance improvement with Stable Diffusion.
Glad to be a statistic
Don’t be so gloomy! You’re an individual number too! 😜

I'm just waiting till I can install SteamOS honestly. Love my steam deck, and wanted to turn my old win 10 PC into a Linux machine but has issues getting any distro loaded because I'm dumb and it's old. Hoping that when they release SteamOS for the chumps I'll be able to work it though probably will just be left holding an old win 10 pc lol.
You are the type thats bringing the Linux gaming forward. Support Steam because they are the pioneers, that other game developers are watching. I still am not a fan of steam heavy DRM dependency but that a me personal thing!
Bazzite is basically that, with a foundation of Fedora Atomic instead of Arch, but otherwise it's extremely similar, designed to be super easy. Even as a Linux nerd it was a breath of fresh air compared even to the simplicity of some other distros.
Garuda is Arch, and is also focused on being super easy, gaming focused, and performance tuned. It's not immutable though.

Pretty sure 80% of them are just people distro hopping, we know the Linux community 😂
It's because you can in Linux.
Maybe, but those 780k users have plenty of good reasons to choose Linux over Windows 11. It's all about personal preference and what works best for them.
Wasn’t criticizing the switch. I’m all on Linux as well, it’s just that’s it’s probably a misleading number
Is Zorin OS recommendable? I'm ready to at least dual boot if folks think thats cool
