I'm doing my part! Switched to Linux earlier this year because Microsoft started showing ads in the start menu. I tried Nobara but ran into some glitches that I didn't want to troubleshoot so I switched to Bazzite. So far so good.

    sparky linux LXQt was the one i settled to in the end. Despite having a top spec laptop and desktop PC, i wanted a light weight Linux, based on Debian, with no "fluff" at all. PC boots fast, shuts down in 2 seconds, no updates, secure, every program is instant. Windoze is plain stupid now with ads.

    I did the same this month. My hardware wasn't supported by Win11, so I installed Bazzite. It works so smoothly that I've already installed it on another PC and will do so on every PC in my household. I've been able to run every single game so far, whether they were from Steam, Ubisoft Connect, GOG, Battle.net or the EA app. I had no idea we were at this point already.

    Right on! I've had a similar gaming experience, except with VR. Can't seem to get my headset working with Bazzite. I've heard that there's some workarounds but I need to sit down and poke at it.
