I had been dual booting bazzite for about a year, up until last weekend when it borked and I wound up just reinstalling. I just deleted everything and went pure linux. Still bazzite, still a little scared of the terminal, but windows is completely gone from my computer.
The first few days is where you realize “holy shit, there is another world I’ve been ignoring and it’s so much more fun.”
As they should.
And after 30 years, same thing.
I went to Linux at the beginning of the year and “had” to install windows onto a drive this past weekend, I’ve looked at myself this way in the mirror everyday since.
And rightfully so.

I installed Linux on my PC this week, so yeah.
Spill the beans! What distro are you running?
Simple and easy: Mint.
Mint until someone makes a distro Karlach themed.
Be the change you want to see in the world
BTW?
I want that feeling to disappear, by having Linux completely dominate the OS space.
Microsoft Linux is what you want.
Unfortunately, that’s where I see it heading. And for all the good intentions out there, as soon as the corpos get involved, it goes to shit.
I think we’re a few principled maintainers away from standard enshittification of the Linux Foundation.
Then it will just be distros shitting on each other…
End Linux Racism!
Sex is cool and all, but that feeling of something natively supporting Linux….
Ive been Linux only for 3 years and I gotta say, I still can’t convince myself to move to a stable release. Opensuse tumbleweed is just on another level.
A fish of distinct tastes.
Updates, roll out!
Ma Man!
4 days? Try 10 minutes.
Justified imo
Even 4s would be fine, anyone who’s made the move is better than anyone who’s stayed.
Even 4s would be fine
install finishes
“That was it?.. Heh. Of course it was. This is Linux, afterall. Not some grotesque accumulation of defects for those base creatures.”
Yeah honestly even if you try it and give it a fair chance but still decide to go back that’s fine with me.
Best part is that it never gets old day after day after day af…
i’m still in awe i can literally just play videogames on linux.
The progress in the last 2 years has been nothing short of amazing.
The KDE team, Wine, Proton, TKG/GE/etc have worked miracles for the Linux community.
Also, shout out to Microsoft for spectacularly face planting in their move to Windows 11/CoPilot/Vibe coded OS development. Nobody deserves more credit for Linux’s growth than Microsoft’s complete failure to innovate as an operating system developer.
the best part is that they didn’t even need to innovate, they just had to not ruin it
Little did we know that their long LONG term plan was actually “EmbraceIncompetence, ExtendBlueScreens, ExtinguishSelf”
The siren call of enshittification-driven short-term profits was too strong.
I get a hit of dopamine just doing mundane tasks on Linux.
Can confirm, I’m using arch btw and every three
pacman -Syu's I run into issues that are new to meJust nuked my CachyOS install with a routine update and switched to Bazzite after repairing it in chroot failed. I enjoyed the entire process, even the failures.
I’m on arch now (BTW) and I’m eyeballing fedora atomic sway.
You get issues every fifteen minutes? Damn.
Well, I used enough linux to be angry about a lot of things.
Well I know I’m superior because I don’t use the OS that funds a pedo’s STD collection via stock value.
I mean… yeah.
Back before I switched to linux it was how I (as a then Windows 2k user) looked at any version of Windows w/o the NT kernel. Now its how I look at people who still use Reddit.
Maybe I just like to look at people that way.
The few people I know that still use Reddit already used the Reddit app and the “new” interface before the API changes. I don’t think they care too much to begin with (so yes, I also look at them that way)
Its more you are at the cutting edge where the general public will be in a few years. The only time I don’t see that happening is when I think of the tildeverse as that is more an offshoot than a evolution of the tech landscape.
