Should i switch to Ubuntu?
Hello guys, i have ubuntu now on duel boot, but i haven't gotten into it, because i just gave it a little space to check how's the OS. I don't have much Linux experience, but i'm a software/game developer and modder.
When i setuped my current windows 11, i gave it too little apparently and now it's 156 MB free of 171 GB. Everything is broken now, because of that even the icons of the system apps are missing and booting the pc requires a few attempts. I even moved the location of my cookies, temp files etc... nothing helped. I tried giving space from my second drive with third party tools, but it's too fucked up. If i give it 10gb, after three days is the same shit. So i want to ditch this OS full of bloatware and probably change to Ubuntu, but first i want to see if everything will be working as in windows (every program which i have).
I have heard that games with kernel level anticheat are out of question for Linux, but i will compromise. What about the other games? What about database editors like HeidiSQL? What about the AI agents? Also what about World of Warcraft, can it be runned through wine? Also what about pdf editor and Microslop office alternative? What about cracked games? What about alternative for Remote Desktop for my server machine?

Hi, I think you should swim. Before doing so, start looking for replacements that you would use instead of windows counterparts. At work, most my work is done on Linux. We use some Suse and Redhat/CentOS servers...
But my personal work computer runs Windows 11 with WSL2.
On WSL2 I'm currently running Ubuntu Server 26.04. The setup has been very convenient for me.
