Already done! My wife’s former Win10 laptop, which was bogging down ludicrously, has been humming along on Ubuntu for months. I use it to run my in-person D&D sessions. Touchpad is a little iffy, probably crudded up inside, so I just added a mouse. Could try to clean it out but I like a mouse better anyway.
Yep Linux is the easiest way to get games :) don’t even need to worry about viruses.
I personally wouldn’t go OpenSUSE
Linux mint all the way
How is Wayland on Cinnamon?
Cinnamon is a desktop not a distro
To answer your question it is a work in progress. Cinnamon is GTK3 based and gtk3 supports Wayland so porting it isn’t to hard. If you need Wayland you can just use Gnome or KDE. The base distro can be anything like Fedora.
OpenSuse is overly complicated for what it is. I want something that follows that status quo.
I understand the Cinnamon is a DE. I was asking how is Wayland support on Cinnamon these days. X11 is unmaintained and insecure so I avoid Linux Mint (Cinnamon is the only desktop environment that has Wayland)
Nah, I like playing games
Me too. Fortunately, Linux can play plenty of games. I’ve put hundreds of hours into each of Skyrim, Cyberpunk, Path of Exile and countless other games
It can’t play every single thing, but I’m cool with that.
I’m not, I want to relax. Debugging is a different hobby
Plenty of distros are set and forget and there’s no debugging necessary. Bazzite for example. No coding, no CLI.
Steam Deck, with Steam OS is a great example. Bazzite OS, Fedora, etc.
Linux today is not the same as it was years ago. If you think otherwise, a video on YouTube demoing something like Bazzite would be a great demo. Bazzite and other atomic distros like Aurora are fort Knox.
I have a friend who still games on windows 11 and he has headaches playing things too, like freezes, CTDs, audio issues, having to reboot, etc. A lot of that comes with PC gaming and isn’t just a Linux thing.
You can stick to Windows but do it on the basis of what-is, not what-was. Valve and other companies in the Linux community have invested a lot of money and resources getting things to great shape, and they’re continuing to do so
I might try again later, last year tried it and it was still a mess
Not every distro is a debug fest. But I see you are set in your idea of Linux.
I have linux as a daily driver. I think it’s great as a server os. But I find it too unreliable for a desktop system
Hahaha what a generic thing to say!
It’s okay to be generic, it’s how I relax
Millions of games run well on Linux, and that’s not counting eg.: Steam.
