Cba to dual boot / swap between OS's too annoying.
I can't think of a single game I've tried to run from my Steam library that doesn't work fine under Linux - Proton does an amazing job (although I often have to peg it to v7, for some reason)
No, desktop linux is too much of a hodge podge house of cards. Free software is not really compatible with making a good desktop operating system, with no incentive to work on the boring bits or make things coherent. Also luck of the draw whether maintainers care about subjective flaws such as input lag, general latency, etc

Yeah but there are afew games that I play that they don't support

I'd assume that most of my games that won't run on Linux would be games with a custom launcher/and or anti-cheat like Valorant, various MMORPGs, some old GOG games and some indie titles. For gaming, Windows is still the go-to imho. But also as a Desktop solution, it's the perfect choice for me. Anything I need linux, I have in a VM and there's also WSL if one wanted to use that with Docker or smth
Yes, our whole office. We converted to Xubuntu for every office PC and laptop 15 years ago, havent looked back since.

Massive Network Bandwidth options with Fiber throughout, up to 100Gbps connections! Always-On DDoS Mitigation for all traffic!
I use arch BTW.
But more seriously - arch + KDE Plasma dualbooted with Windows for the occasional game that doesn't run under linux
Looking to switch to a WM though as using a mouse gets uncomfortable after some time.
Anyone mind sharing their dotfiles?
I always have 4 virtual desktops available on the taskbar: I'm surprised Windoze hasn't stolen that idea, yet. I can't stand the cluttered switching on a standard Windoze desktop.

Most indie games and GOG games run fine on linux AFAIK as long as they are singleplayer. Certain multiplayer games might not run.
Used too much that i can't decide. Had mint cinnamon installed as main driver, but went back to windows, cause the updates where kind of minimal some years ago. On VMs preferred xubuntu, cause of basic xfce destop.
Looking by design, Ubuntu or Opensuse would fit my visual esthetics. The opposite i hate is debian, it runs fantastic, but ugly design i can't see on my desktop.

How do you mean Debian looks ugly?
It uses standard settings of the defined DE. I know its defined per distro, like the color settings from ubuntu. For me, minimal versions are the best, just browser, mail, office and thats it.
Despite using Linux on servers for 25 years now, I detest Linux with a passion for desktops. I stick with macOS, a good balance between Windows and Linux.
I didn't use Windows by about 8-10 years. I had to do something on Windows, recently, for someone, and I was kinda lost in space (recovered quickly, but...)

Where did you get that Linux Mint variant? It is not on their official website.

That's too broad of a question isn't it? Depending on how low we are talking about, and whether you are running it headless or with GUI.
Interesting..one click !
Wasn’t aware if this. I simply used
but this tutorial seems useful

A very low resource system. Preferably with GUI, but if necessary perhaps would do without
WattOS
Tiny Core
SliTaz

WattOS was nice, now nicer because they moved to Debian !

Among other choices
Debian minimal iso + xfce
Puppy Linux family is a good option too

And finally…
Damn Small Linux is back http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
Pared down install + debian base makes it a slam dunk

Debian + Xfce, dualbooted with Windows Thin PC (based on Embedded 7 Standard)

I'm thinking about to switch from Fedora KDE to Debian KDE.
I like the workflow on Gnome, but their fractional scaling sucks.

Nope. Laptop is Windows 11. Raspberry pi is BookWorm, but that's more like home server.
