    Yep, I will switch to Linux before I get another OS from Microsoft. Once 10 goes away, I jump onto a Linux distribution and use Proton.

    I was hoping for a Steam Created distribution to come out, but I’ve been waiting for that for years. I’m just too lazy to switch over before I have to.

      Nobara is pretty close. Glorious Eggroll’s distro, comes with proton pre-installed so it can run steam games out of the box. Worth a shot, I love it

        Thanks for the info. I’ve noticed that having an Nvidia GPU may be my downfall. I would hate to have to switch my 3080 for my son’s 6800XT or even have to buy another GPU When I need to switch.

        I have spent over 30 years doing IT work, so figuring out another OS won’t be too hard since I’ve worked through almost everything starting in the 90’s.

          Nvidia drivers actually come pre-baked with the installer. When you download the iso, just make sure you get the Nvidia one. It’ll install the most recent drivers for you as part of the install.

          I’m running a 4060ti on mine (it was free, I know they’re silly cards) with zero issues.
