I’ve used Ubuntu for years and it’s easy to install and widely supports all the things I need. Bazzite is also a great option. I’ve never been interested in Arch and SteamOS just came out for desktop so I’d rather not be an early adopter when Bazzite is already ironed out and waiting to be installed.

Love steamOS on my deck, but see no use for it on my Desktop atm.

Windows 11 is actually spyware garbage and I won’t have it in my house.

I'll probably get around to dual booting Zorin. except I'll be using Linux for productivity and windows for gaming.

I don’t see a reason to use Windows for gaming if you don’t play games with anticheat. I have a 9070XT so it just works with Linux. Left Nvidia and Linux is much happier.

I have a 7900XTX and don't like the fact that there is no software support. Only drivers. Plus you get worse framerates than on windows.

Dang that’s a bummer. Wish it wasn’t that way for that card.

dual booting just makes things more difficult. windows likes to silently change things in the bios and on disk drives it manages, basically pulling the rug out from under linux. you can mitigate it by making linux aware of the fact but that's not the default behaviour, because again dual booting isn't really recommended.
