It's been good for twenty years, the only difference is that OP finally gave it a fair go.

I'm glad that I am not the only one saying this. I made the switch 20+ years ago for my day to day use, and I have rarely experienced any problems with it.

Proton for games had changed things dramatically. Gamers can legit switch to Linux with barely a second thought, without being technical.

Linux/x86 still is poor for battery life compared to Apple.

  • Most people don’t care about gaming, so they shouldn’t care about proton. What changed recently for those who don’t care about gaming?

    • I’d argue the majority of casual online PC discourse is driven by gaming. By the numbers LTT is the largest PC/IT/consumer computer YouTube channel and the majority of their content is focused on gaming.

      That’s my impression anyway.

    • A pretty bold statement for the largest entertainment medium in the world.

But now it is good and also has working networking, audio and you can watch videos and scroll webpages without screen tearing.
