Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.

Still skeptical here as well, but it’s at least a step in the right direction. I still do not plan to have any Ring products anywhere near my place anytime soon.

Welcome to the club!

The only game I can’t play is rocket league.

Have you tried it on Heroic Games Launcher yet? I play RL from time to time with a buddy, and both of us have gotten it to work without any notable issues via Heroic.

I really hope they fix the issue with the picture-in-picture video not staying over top of all other windows; that’s the only thing keeping me from using Wayland Firefox right now.

Yes, in further testing I’ve seen purple artifacting around smokes, and sometimes around molotovs. It seems to be worst with the smokes, though.

Bit late to the party, but so far the game seems to be working fine on my Manjaro install (running Wayland+Pipewire, RX 6800 XT).

Dang it, I got especially excited because I thought FaceIt was finally going to support anti cheat/their client on Linux for CSGO, too. Glad to see that BBR is getting some love, but c’mon, FaceIt…

CSGO and Northgard both have native clients; I think Northgard’s native client has an issue where you can’t use the Steam overlay in-game, but I believe that’s some sort of OpenGL glitch. Otherwise they’re both pretty flawless.

Using Manjaro KDE here, as well. Granted, I mostly play Counter-Strike, Risk of Rain 2, Stellaris, and various indie games, but pretty much everything has been very smooth. Very glad to be free of Windows on my main machine, and it hasn’t really affected how I use my PC day-to-day.

I’ll give a third to Fedora, it’s definitely a good option (though I’ll admit I prefer KDE to Gnome, so I tend to go with the Fedora KDE spin). I’d also agree with several of the other commenters suggesting Linux Mint. It’s a pretty good distro to get started on, and the Cinnamon desktop environment is reasonably familiar to those coming from a Windows background.

Bitwarden 100% has biometric unlock (at least on Android, can’t speak for other platforms); as mentioned by @pattern, you can set it up to autofill login info in apps and websites. It does sometimes take a bit of time to show up, though.

Anecdotal experience, I know, but I managed to cure my wife of her habit of storing passwords in plaintext on her computer by moving her to Bitwarden, and I’ve had very little in the way of tech support to deal with in that area ever since, so at least for me it passes the “good for non-tech savvy folks” test.

You bring up a good point with utilities like Bitwarden and Proton Mail; things that look nice and have good functionality attract the average user much more easily.

I’m generally pretty pleased with the update, save for one thing: something with the new overlay causes CSGO to crash immediately upon launch. I’ve worked around it by disabling the overlay for the time being, but I’m hoping that they can get this fixed soon nonetheless.
