I'm planning on switching to Linux on my main PC as I don't want to move to Windows 11 and was curious about other people's experiences doing so.

I have a Steam Deck and everything there works out of the box, but I imagine that's a more curated platform compared to standard distros.

What are your experiences, good or bad?

If that was more than a year ago it might be tine to try again with Bazzite or Nobara; the latter being my personal choice.

    Hey, just a super random follow up but this thread sparked me messing around with Bazzite again and I got some things figured out that originally did trip me up. Just set it up on a separate hard drive for dual booting to give it another chance.

    Whenever I find a few minutes to sit down with the time to make the switch official, I'm probably going to install Bazzite properly over my Windows install!

    Both were on my radar as well. I want to say I tried Bazzite before Pop but one of those workflows I could not solve was a problem on Bazzite (some virtual kvm switch software I've used forever). Nobara was almost where I went after Pop before retreating back to Windows :)
