I was blown away by it. Just install steam and maybe proton-ge and good to go. I recently installed CachyOS and that way I even skipped the driver install chore I usually had to do. Anno 117 just works out of the box. It has gotten so good and easy!
I'm using KRdp for the first time in several years today and am BLOWN AWAY by the quality of the connection. It is in virtually every regard as good as Windows' RDP.

BREAKING: Man decides to install Linux.

“I deleted the recycling bin folder named /bin/ and it just froze what do I do?”

I’m going to install CachyOS, an Arch-based distro
oh god dammit
I'M FED UP, GOING TO INSTALL LINUX!
- picks a complicated distro where you really need to read the manual or do some heavy google searches to do gaming *
I'M FED UP, THIS IS TOO HARD, I'M GOING BACK TO WINDOWS!
Are you saying seasoned windows users can't cope with LFS (linux from scratch) first time around? /s
I see your /s but we all watched Linux Sebastian burn an easy distro to the ground with ample warnings while refusing to read any information about the distro. And he's on the long side of the Dunning-Kruger curve for windows.
I think we need everything to work out of the box on all major hardware, no terminal commands, video accelerators working by default and steam to be a one-click install.

Sometimes I feel like I have to physically pull people away from things they aren't going to like. Everyone wants to learn how to drive a semi with a b-train, but they should be starting on the good old reliable Camry.
Cachy's not that bad for beginners. I just did a test install on an old Nvidia PC, and it works for gaming OOTB.
We've come a looooong way from Manjaro. I wouldn't wish Manjaro on my worst enemy, to be clear.
i think i absolutely loved manjaro for the first week. then it just went downhill. i still think that manjaro had cool things. it’s been my favourite grub because of it being somewhat riced and always picking up whatever dual boot i had on different drives. still i would recommend manjaro only to those people who need to practice fixing broken distros. its really good at that.
I'm kinda surprised it's still around, and popular.
I guess it still has a lot of SEO and such.

Oh man, don't read the comments, sad to see the smartasses saying "report back when you install windows again in two months" while getting utterly fucked by Windows.
I mean, I understand being resistant to change but being a fanatic of Windows or anything for that matter just because that's all you know is really ignorant, it's not a sports team for fucks sake, of course it's not easy switching and you will have problems just dont be afraid to ask and read the error warning.
Rant over
I use Windows for work and I miss Win10, I don't like it but I'm aware that's currently the target of most Consumer SW for good reason but that reason is starting to break (say it with me! BAD BUSINESS DECISIONS!!!).
Happy to see Linux getting mainstream, not all comments are bad but I the trolls got me.
It's like do-gooder derogation. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do-gooder_derogation )
Someone doing something good? Fuck them. They think they're better than us?? Where do they get off??!?
A lot of people are trash and are emotionally invested in both the way things currently are, and that they are a very good person
