I do for all my machines except the daily driver and at work.
I want to switch over my main system to Linux but I'm putting it off because I feel like I need a full day or two to just transfer simple things like browser info, save games, find utility apps, etc. Plus a bunch of games that I like playing still don't work on Linux. I also haven't looked into how to attempt to play "unlicensed" games on Linux yet.
I've been using Linux for 3 years in college
My Linux distro hop went ZorinOS -> Fedora Workstation -> Nobara Linux -> Now (VanillaOS)
Hows VanillaOS compare to Fedora/Nobara for school? I work + take courses at the college and 99% of the time Fedora works wonderfully. The only issue I've ran into is using Respondous Lockdown Browser as it has to be done with a VM and they don't like VMs whatsoever
Works great, I've never had issues. I've only had one prof that used lockdown and which I told them. I use Linux, and it doesn't support it, so they made accommodations (Schools are required to). I use the containers in the software to install various scripts for marketing etc. Flatpak's are nice and easy to use. It has native AppImageLauncher support.
AppImageLauncher is the move if you use any app images for sure! Super sweet it's ready to rock on install with VanillaOS
