I’m still not fully across Linux because my job requires me to use Windows everyday. That said I’ve been using Pop_OS! On my personal machine for over two years now and its been flawless, requires little upkeep and minimal use of the terminal, the times I’ve needed to install stuff using the terminal has also been flawless which gives me extra confidence.
Whatever gives the least complicated experience and just works with little extra work is what will win out in the end for the day to day user. People generally just want to get on their machine, use the programs they want and not be interrupted by anything else from the computer, barring updates, we have all come to understand the importance of updates as routine maintenance.
My most recent version of this was symlinking SSL Certs before building Nix packages, a simple task I just kept forgetting to and was then greeted by errors.
Why? Bleeding edge has newer packages which are often needed when trying to play some new game. That’s why steam OS is now arch based when it used to be debian based. Too old packages
On the other hand I have a laptop with Intel and dedicated Nvidia card. Longterm ongoing heat problems (one heat pipe, one cooler, bad placement, thanks Dell) killed the Nvidia card.
Windows couldn’t run anymore and couldn’t be installed again.
With linux the laptop works again, at least with the Intel 3rd generation card.
From my experience running windows game inside wine, it’s run but doesn’t run smoothly like i running in windows
I don’t know if i missing something at installation process, i’ve been trying install it with bottles same thing happened
But good news now is i can find some games at gog that running on linux natively
I love arch but I actually haven’t used it since before they added the arch install. I can’t imagine how much easier it is cause it’s still the terminal. The “manual” install was easy as hell
