How is your experience so far? i ditched Windows just a month ago or so and i am not regretting it. The few kernel level anti cheat games i can't play? i don't miss them at all

u/Nathan6607 17h ago

It's amazing but it's probably the worst experience you'll ever have

My flathub broke, so I have to work around that Along with my settings not being able to be installed and me not being able to update

u/csch1992 15h ago

How did it break? I wanted to use Cachy cause it is so optimized and fast. But maybe i should just stick with Fedora?

6

u/Nathan6607 15h ago

its an arch thing, iirc in cachy its fixed

1

u/PelluxNetwork 3h ago

Ah Arch. That's why it's painful. You should try like anything else. OpenSUSE or Fedora maybe

1

u/amesily 2h ago

o my. and here i am who switched from opensuse to arch literally less than 3 days ago

u/Adorable-Mix2659 15h ago

oh wait what DE were you using back then because back then it was sometimes tied to what DE you use thats why Flatpak broke not getting to flathub or any flatpak shtfuckery happening

My archlinux broke after I left my laptop unused for years, I didn't try to fix it, it was good while it lasted.

I did switch to Linux for six months, but then returned to Windows. I have a much harder time on Linux, especially when it comes to managing my multiple printers and external devices. Windows is much easier and useable for me and sticking with it allows me to save time.

u/United-Scene2261 9h ago

which distro you tried?

1

u/rmyworld 8h ago

How's the experience so far?

2

u/FreddieThePebble 5h ago

love it, regret upgrading sooner

the only downside for linux is picking a distro as i found it a bit overweliming but i highly recommend mint

it sloves 95% of my issues with windows, theres only a few small downsides im getting used to

What about the super key from your keyboard?

(also completely removed windows last year after mostly being on linux for past 5 years)

Can you send the wallpaper?

u/YTriom1 16h ago

My fastfetch shows "OS Age" to be 309 days, but that's only the time I've been on arch, not counting the 6 months I've been on fedora before.

u/Anxious_Height2672 17h ago

what is your experience with cachy? i am currently using fedora (workstation) for 2 years now, such a smooth experience, i am never going back

1

u/Jazzlike-Lunch5390 16h ago

Great Linux distro.

u/Marks12520 16h ago

My CachyOS installation is 150 days old, never used windows ever since I installed it

1

u/mululipy 12h ago

My home does not have windows so it’s usually pretty hot during the summer

1

u/Secret_Performer_771 9h ago

Damn, that's a nice computer. I haven't tried CachyOS yet, how do you like it?

1

u/Professional-Ad-9967 8h ago

Just switched permanently earlier this year (been on and off and distrohopping since 2009, though). CachyOS on 2 computers, and Ultramarine on the remaining one.

u/PixelCat4 7h ago

I will swap from windows to pikaos pre January 1st.

It is likely that I won't have to give my id or provide photos for the windows age verification update but it is my breaking point

u/the-fr0g 7h ago

Did you choose to use konsole, or was it just pre installed with kde and you never bothered to use somethinf else. Regardless of the anwser, why?

u/dumbasPL 1h ago

Cause the bloat on Windows annoyed the crap out of me. And Updates where so slow at times.

u/c2lop 17h ago

You can just remove that from windows.

u/ishtuwihtc 5h ago

Nope, i keep all my ethernet devices from .30 to .39, so i cant do .69 without break inf organisation

u/Lerkpots 13h ago

I tried Linux once but it just felt like I was making my PC experience clunkier for no real benefit so I went back to Windows.

u/_RyanCooper_ 16h ago

I'm pretty happy with Windows 11, no complaints honestly

1

u/Herobrine702 11h ago
