Been a Windows Main my whole life. Bought the steam deck a year ago and it was awesome. Bought a new pc couple of weeks ago and installed linux mint. Few minor issues, resolved in net 2hours. Since then it has been a breeze.
Developing, gaming, even running Windows apps is no problem anymore.
Seems like there's a bunch of us with the same idea. Once W10 is end of life my plan is to build a new PC and run Linux on it. Gaming is my only reservation but hoping mostly a non issue by 2025.
Many of us have jumped ship years ago. It's been largely a non-issue for years now, but especially so with the introduction of the Steam deck in recent times.
