Been working and playing on Linux for years, from 2D indie e.g. Baba is You to AAA e.g. Elden Ring, BG3, Expedition 33 to AAA VR e.g. Half-life: Alyx to VR indie e.g. Cubism and my experience has just been great.

It's MY system and I do whatever the heck I want, from play boring stuff to weird prototyping. I get no, like literally 0, anti-feature. I'm not "scared" that an update will limit my agency. I'm just zen and that is priceless.

Also, quite importantly, it works wonderfully with all my other devices and peripherals. I go from Bluetooh headsets easily, I switch monitors, video projectors, XR devices, CV camera inputs, I share files with KDE Connect, I receive SMS notification from my (deGoogled) Android phone, I reply from my desktop, I get notification when my SteamDeck is soon out of battery, etc. ALL my devices play nicely with each other.

So yes, Linux is good now. It's been for a while but it's been even better for the last few years.
