  • I’ve handed noobs Linux machines and they use them just fine, they understand how to open the browser and steam and thats basically 90% of what they need the PC for. They aren’t power users and aren’t installing anything else from what I’ve seen. I gave a bazzite machine to a cousin about four months ago and she’s just happy to play some hello Kitty game she didn’t have on her switch.

    I have a buddy on discord who works in IT and works on Linux servers a lot too and he basically said the same thing, that Linux isnt good for genpop, but like, I’m genpop and I found it much simpler than dealing with windows all the time. I tell him all the time too, like I’m not sure what he thinks is so difficult about it, I just login and open Firefox, then close it and shut my PC down. From time to time I edit photos and play games on steam. I’m not building ai models or anything crazy, heck I haven’t even changed the desktop wallpaper because I’m not on the desktop long enough to care.



  • I switched maybe like two years ago now. I only had issues on one game but a bit later it just worked not sure what changed. I know EA stuff doesn’t work so haven’t really messed around with that. I check protonDB a lot to see game compatibility.

    The biggest issue for me was getting a handle on a photo workflow for myself after switching and leaving lightroom/adobe behind. I use darkroom now which I’m still learning but I have a basic workflow down pretty well.

    I built up a PC for my cousin for gaming and put bazzite on there, she hasn’t really noticed anything being her first personal PC so thats pretty good, I’ve gone from popOS, to arch to bazzite
