1 year agoI’ve been running Linux Mint for a few years now and it’s been really good for me. Runs games through Steam and Lutris about as good as I’ve had it.
I’ve also run other distros like Pop! and Fedora here and there but they seem to give me more issues.
Honestly, I think the biggest thing for me using Linux the last 10+ years has been I find it easier to stay updated. I can just run one command like
apt update && apt upgrade -y
or write a short script to include Flatpak or whatever else to get everything updated; whereas with Windows it feels like a crapshoot whether updates actually get pushed to my machine, and it also seems to just bug out on me frequently and need me to delete a corrupted download or whatever… and once that’s done I gotta worry about updating drivers and apps.Other than that, I guess the more customization is nice so I can change my desktop when I’m bored and need something new. Plus I’m personally much more comfortable in a Linux shell than Windows command prompt. But really day-to-day my experience is similar to Windows these days, in terms of stability and being able to get stuff done.
And I primarily use Mint, for it’s worth :)
