The bullshit I put up with. Goddamn.
That full screen win 11 thing had me going for a while until I noticed the "opt out" button. When an OS starts to become obtrusive, I start to look for alternatives. The primary reason I use Windoze is because of gaming and most of that is through Steam. SO, now that the Steam Deck has pushed some great improvements in gaming on Linux, Linux MINT may be in my near future.
I already use open office on my home machine instead of the MS Office I have to use at work.
Keep pushing M$. You'll push me right away.
Highly highly recommend Nobara over Mint if you're primarily going to be gaming. It's a fork of Fedora by Glorious ~~Eggshell~~ Eggroll (the guy behind Proton-GE), who himself works for Redhat.
It. just. works.
v40 should be out within a week or two of Fedora 40 dropping on the 23rd.
Edit: Wrong Egg-thing
Thanks for the tip!
Is it possible to dual boot that and keep my existing win 10 install?
That'd be doable. A lot of people would recommend installing it to a separate drive so that windows cant try overwriting boot partitions or anything. Also If its anything like standard fedora I'm sure that windows will still show up as a listing in grub so you won't have to switch boot drives in the bios constantly
Pretty much all this. I do use my OS drive to dual boot both windows and Nobara. Grub does the heavy lifting. Windows plays along fine.
