It's not the year of Linux on desktop; it's the year of Linux on a handheld.

    Proton is the reason I don’t need any Windows machines anymore

      I just need to suck it up and make the switch over already.

        Would recommend, I actually enjoy interacting with my computer now rather than just tolerating Windows

          I have it dual booting, just need to make the switch over to primary.

            That’s easy, just change the boot order so it defaults to Linux. If it’s a pain to boot into Windows, you’ll use it less and naturally replace your usage with Linux.

            Try it for a week or two, you probably won’t feel the need to go back. Make the switch today.

              Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing today. Pretty nice, just a pain to deal with NTFS shares but maybe I won’t need them soon enough.

                Good luck!

                I haven’t had any issues accessing NTFS from Linux, though running applications in Linux from NTFS is not a recipe for success. Only share data across OSes and everything should be fine.

            Depending on what you do with it it’s easier than you’d think (provided you have a decent knowledge of Linux)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
