I just moved my main PC to CachyOS like two weeks ago. It's been quite nice so far actually. Minor hiccup when trying to play The Guild 2 (had to use Protontricks to download DirectPlay)

To hell with Microslop.
People need to have some dignity. When an OS becomes an ant-privacy ad serving platform first and foremost, it's time to ditch it!
My newest computer came with Windows 11. I ran it for a few weeks and wiped it and installed Bazzite Linux. I have had virtually no issues and honestly it's been a fantastic experience.
I do have an older laptop running Win 10 for a handful of programs that I haven't figured out how to get to work under Linux yet, but it's just a matter of time.

FUCK MICROSOFT
Microslop*
Good thing I am no longer on it. Going forward if I ever get a new laptop I am going to setup linux mint (or another distro) on it right away, thus activating it without it. Being connected to the internet in the first place.

I installed Mint on my main computer yesterday. ^_^ Super done with Windows! Now I just have to convince my husband to let me install it on his computer, too. 🤔
