[–] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 37 points 11 months ago (3 children) Proton helped me switch to Linux full time. Before that I was always dual booting. It's a game changer for me for sure. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 11 points 11 months ago Same here. For folks hesitant to switch because of games, I was too, but it really is at the "just works" stage for 99% of games. Even some big AAA competitive online games like Marvel Rivals work on Linux. The irony being if Microsoft allowed Windows 11 on BIOS boards I would've upgraded before the Recall stuff happened and not thought twice. Always a silver lining I guess. permalink fedilink source parent [–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago Chiming in, same for me. Dual booting for over a decade. Haven't played on Windows for probably several years now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ppaluchowski64@infosec.exchange 1 point 11 months ago @mintiefresh @cm0002 I had a bit different story.
