Ask a guy who switched fully to Linux a week ago anything.
- atomi 11y agoAs a Windows 10 insider and switched to Cinnamon Linux Mint - so much happier. I do miss gaming sometimes but I end up having more time to work or read now too. So it's a net benefit.
- benbenolson 11y agoI'm loving it too. Most of my games run in Linux, and for the rest of them, Wine runs then surprisingly well. I'm on Debian Jessie.
- ionised 11y agoMy main concern is things like my X-55 Rhino stick and throttle not having Linux drivers. While most games will work in some way on Linux, either through Steam or through WINE, there are still enough caveats that prevent me from making the jump fully.
- Filthy_casual 11y agoI did the same a week ago - First tried Mint Rafaela with Cinnamon and this week I got free time to tryout Arch. Turns out their wiki is amazing and with a little google-fu I managed to install GNOME and any other application I might need. I honestly don't miss anything from Windows. I used to game a lot but that changed and the few games I still play can either be accessed with Play on Linux or have their own port. And what's even funnier is that most of apps nowadays have a web version (Skype, Spotify) so I really avoid meddling with emulating Windows for a good while.
- TsiCClawOfLight 11y agoSkype and Spotify also have native ports :-)
