I have been using Fedora Sericea since it came out (it's basically Fedora Silverblue, but uses Sway-wm instead of Gnome-wm). The system is actually pretty usable, and you don't really need to reboot after each rpm-ostree install command (`rpm-ostree live-apply` takes care of it via systemd-based overlay).

in the last two weeks I've been using Fedora Workstation, I haven't use Linux in 20 years and i have to say this is an incredibly improved experience.

I haven't yet needed to boot back into windows! If it stays like that for the next 6 months I'll cut over to Linux permanently and wipe the windows partition.

You may already know this but you can play most Windows games using Proton via Steam and it works really, really well.

But what about Office, Adobe , Affinity?

Lutris has installers for those too, and Flatpak makes Lutris' installation a breeze. Those are propietary, but you have Krita, Only Office, Inkscape, LibreOffice, Blender...

[senectus1]

yeah Office365 is a problem. If I really need that I'll either run up a VM for windows or I'll use works citrix session (or the work laptop)

[hexo]

i dont believe anyone needs such mega-bad bloatware

[alexvitkov]

your belief is not very grounded in reality unfortunately

But you still need to reboot for the new kernel to go live right? Or is the kernel switched via kexec or something?

[softirq]

Yes, there's nothing special about the kernel upgrade. You either reboot or kexec.
