I've made the switch to Bazzite this week. First on my Legion Go. And after that worked mostly out of the box and without any hassle I installed it to my desktop. And it really is the first time I feel like I'm not missing something or have a use case that would not be covered. Steam/Proton really is a killer combination and will in my opinion be the thing that will make people consider to switch.

Whatever apps and corporate synergy they might have, no commercial consumer OS meets my most basic use cases for operating a computer. The whole point of commercializing the OS was to take power away from users and artificially limit our options. It wasn't even a secret, there was huge industry-shaping lawsuits about it. But people don't give a fuck about that if they can't run Fortnight...

I'm annoyed we didn't all go with BSD, but this is nice. We got to hold on to some of our nice things for once.

When windows 10 goes bye bye next year, I'm turning my old PC into a Linux machine. At least they don't require the security 2.0 chip

I'll probably switch my school laptop to Fedora from windows 11/tiny11 because why not, all of the stuff I really need for it can be done on a browser anyway. Also it'd be funny to confuse everyone around me about what it runs, and act like I'm hacking by using cmatrix Infront of them like a silly goof.
