Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

For my "convenience" and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

really looking forward to getting another SSD and just installing linux on it so I don't have to deal with that kind of bullshit anymore. The bullshit I will be dealing with will not be privacy related, just compatibility related.

Do it. I did that a year ago. Totally worth it.

which distro do you recommend for gaming? I'm looking at fedora games, drauger OS or Pop_OS

I cannot strongly recommend enough pop_os. For reference, it was my last distro of choice, but its been my all time favorite out of 10+ I've tried in 2 years

Pop_OS is fine as long as you don't try to install Steam :)

I've swapped from windows to Pop about a month ago and haven't had any issues with Steam

My gaming rig is running Nobara Project right now and I'd highly recommend it for gaming centric use.

I set up a test rig with Fedora to see how the gaming went and didn't have any issues with Steam or a handful of AAA games. Of note though, my test machine has an AMD GPU so I didn't have to deal with any Nvidia driver shenanigans.

That's probably the best way to try it. First get comfy and still have a fallback solution if you don't like it.
