I finally nuked windows

I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.

Feels good to ditch Windows don’t it?

IsoSpandy,

It’s like a brick off my chest

Disgruntled,

I nuked my Windows 11 and went with Fedora KDE, too.

I only use Windows for work nowadays, I have a mind to swap it with Linux too but afraid it’ll mess up with some programs.

MrOzwaldMan,

8 gigs of update after leaving for 6 months is a sensible thing to occur. I don’t know why it is a thing to be enraged by.

I mean, if you don’t update an OS and you come back to check go updates, it will pile on to become a huge update like the 8 gigs.

Lastly, don’t distrohop because it is not there, there is always something that exists that can give you what you want.

Also checkout Heroic Launcher, Epic gives free games every week, there’s plenty of fun to have with those too.

Hell yeah! Welcome, from an admittedly also new full-time Linux user.
