  • I guess a better question to ask is: WHY do you want to switch to Linux. Is there a compelling yet specific reason. Abstract things like “better privacy” is not that valid for regular folks. You can tweak enough things in windows with group policy/registry to make it just okay. Surely it’s not out of the box but you only need to do it once, and I imagine this will only take a fraction of the time you would otherwise spend troubleshooting Linux.

    If there are specific Linux things you need to run, why not use your server or even WSL?

    As much as I love Linux, my main gaming/video production PC will always be windows.






  • Things you mentioned about windows before “etc” can actually be disabled through group policy or other means. It’s an annoyance nonetheless. But after ~30 minutes of tweaking after a new install, windows is not that bad these days.

    Anyway, if I don’t play games I’ll probably be Linux all the way. Most things today are web based anyway.

    But how is gaming on Linux nowadays, if you may elaborate? I have top of the line hardwares but the games I play easily max out their usage. I know there are things like translation layer, but I’m afraid the performance hit may be not ideal…
