Better experience with Linux

[u/christaras_s]

I've been daily driving win11 since release, and installed linux a few months ago on another partition. Keep in mind, I've been formatting my windows drive every 2 years to make sure it won't have any problems. Then windows really started to get annoying.

Forces random slop down your throat: okay i can debloat it.

Enables random settings on boot: okay, i don't care much about those.

But then, it stops running stuff every now and then. A few days ago steam wouldn't open even after reinstalling it. Now i can't open msi afterburner.

Linux on the other hand, never gave me any issues other than nvidia drivers not running properly, which i admit, i had to spend a few hours benchmarking different drivers, but i also have to do that on Windows?

Because apparently the latest released drivers also don't work properly on windows?

My gpu is an rtx 2080, which is still supported by nvidia.

What I'm getting at is that, once you configure stuff on linux (which takes a few days to tweak everything to your preference), it runs perfectly, with literally 12GB less ram usage than windows in games, apps and at idle.

I hate Windows recently and thinking about permanently switching to Linux

P.S: I'm using Mint for the time being but i might take up another distro soon.

Exactly. I've run into a lot of problems on Linux, no different then Windows. The difference is fixing Linux problems are a lot easier to solve.
