      I tried to a few years ago with Ubuntu but it was missing a lot of apps and games I liked or needed to use for various reasons. These days I unfortunately still use windows as a main, but I have Ubuntu in a dual partition with windows on my laptop

        tried years ago with Ubuntu. There was a lot to like, but ultimately gaming just wasnt a thing.

          Yeah. I’m hopeful that with all the work proton and steam are doing to get things compatible with Linux we might see that change soon

      There are two laptops on my desk at home. One dual boots between MacOS and Windows (90% Windows) and the other is running Fedora 39. If I had to point at one of them as my “main” computer, it’d be the dual-booting one. I use both fairly heavily, though.

      Yep! Current daily driver is Ubuntu but I have tinkered with fedora in the past. I am not a gamer but am a programmer and find I have everything I need for work/life easily available. I am comfortable on the command line which helps but if it’s set up then anyone can use it I reckon. All my coding stack is open source. And libre Office is a pretty good replacement for MS office (without the shitful 365 cloud garbage)

      I have also used Mac regularly and I can’t think of much I can do on one and not the other.

      Happy to answer any more specific question - feel free to PM me. Not that I know how that works on lemmy.
