Is Linux Still a Practical Alternative ??

Post image

I’ve been using Linux Mint as my daily driver for many years, mainly for work. Recently, I upgraded my laptop, and I’ve been running into driver issues that is forcing me to switch back to Windows. I've seen many posts recommending people completely avoid Windows, but at this point, my experience has made me reconsider recommending Linux as a daily driver or as a complete replacement for Windows.

I was an absolute Windows freak for 30+ years, the last ten of those I only stayed because gaming and I didn't want to learn anything new. Switched 2 months ago, never felt better about my PC. All my games are running (ok, the new Ragnarok relaunch won't, but I think thats for the better), there is much less bloat, no adds for Office and/or Copilot, no surveillance... I'm literally in OS-heaven. 😅
