[@iBolski]

I first started using Linux back in the 90's. And around 1998, I went full-time on Linux because I could get Quake to run better under Linux than Windows. Eventually, with Windows XP,, I switched back because I was gaming more and more on my PC. Fast forward to 2024, and MS updated Windows 11 and enabled OneDrive synching without my permission. I was even using a local account, but I was signed with my Hotmail account in other areas for things I was using. Then, I read about CoPilot. Even though it wasn't going to be installed on my PC since it wasn't a CoPilot PC, I just know that eventually, MS would probably install it on non-CoPIloit PCs whose CPUs might be able to handle it. In any case, that was the final straw. I installed Arch linux (CachyOS at this time) and have been running full-time on Linux and in August, removed Windows completely from my PC and I only have Linux installed. I'm not going back to Windows from what I can tell. 3+ months on Linux, and I haven't looked back.

[@krikcet-163]

I started a few months ago, tinkering with linux. For the same reasons you did. Currently dual booting. What finally pushed me to make the switch, is they updated and installed copilot onto my pc (which is not even a copilot pc, and it's net even the right specs to upgrade to windows 11 (which I wouldn't anyway) So I dove in and have been more than happy. I haven't dumped windows completely yet, i have a few things im working on finding solutions for. But once that is complete, goodbye windows. The couple times I've launched windows since I switched. I instantly regret it. It's slower, and more bloated, and just honestly more of a hassle to deal with at this point. Linux is my home now. Now I just need to spread the good word.

[@iBolski]

@@krikcet-163 Nice. For me, some things I found work great in Wine using Bottles. if I can't find a Windows alternative. Or else, I can install Windows in a VM if they don't work in Wine. Technically, it's two applications. One is my DVD ripper I use to rip my BluRay library to add to my Plex Media server. The other is a CD ripping program to rip my music CDs that I absolutely love. That's it. Everything else, I've replaced with either Linux alternatives, or the program has a Linux version.

[@pip5528]

I ran CachyOS full-time for 3 weeks before the drive on my new build filled up to the point where it wasn't letting me delete things so I'm testing Windows 10 Pro on it and it runs pretty well but I still run CachyOS on my laptop.

[@cameronbosch1213]

I wish I tried Linux sooner. I only started in 2010 with Ubuntu 10.04. I stopped using it regularly a few years later because I couldn't get gaming to work well. Unfortunately, by the time I returned, I couldn't find a good Ubuntu based KDE distro. This led me to EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma just a year or two after they launched (at the time, their default DE was Xfce, but it has since switched over to Plasma). Yes, it was a bit rocky at first and with the 2022 Arch GRUB EFI bug, but I stuck with it, and because of Windows 11, I don't plan on ever returning to Windows.

[@krikcet-163]

@@iBolski as for me I've got everything I use on the daily working, not to mention i've been running firefox, blender, OBS, davinci resolve and others before i even thought about linux. So I have no issues there. And I've gotten almost every one of my games that I've installed out of the 450 or so games I have on steam working (disregarding anything with kernel level anticheats and such). With tweaking and occasionally a caveat or two. But it's been a blast, and the customization is fantastic. And I'm just on linux mint 22. I'm happy. The only things I'm trying to get working and will have to tinker with after the fact are, VoiceMod doesn't work, I tried it with wine and bottles, and it just won't play ball. And the other is occasional issues with steering wheel and pedal, force feedback, and I'll be converting from a logitech g29 setup to a more robust direct drive wheel. But that'll take a bit of doing. But, even with those issues, I'm much happier here.

[@WaylandGaming]

I’ve been using Linux for the past 8 years. 7 of those years I dual-booted. But only for gaming. Everything other than gaming was on Linux. Now for the past year I deleted Windows completely. I’m tired of dealing with it and fighting it. It doesn’t do what I say. I must adhere to it. Whereas on Linux, I’m the owner. It does what I say. Other than some edge professional use cases, for 95% of the population, Linux is more than enough. Web browsing, music, videos, gaming, all without spyware. And it’s free. And you can customize it to your heart’s desire.

Been off and on Linux since 2004. Was an early adopter of Ubuntu in 2006, and have seen the platform improve so much since then for the user experience. Windows 11 was the last straw for me as a Windows user. I made the switch (to Fedora Linux) when Windows 11 came out, and haven't looked back since. Is it perfect? No. Kernal level anti-cheats in gaming make certain games unplayable. But most games nowadays just work out of the box. And, if you're into older titles pre-2010, they work with less effort than they do on Windows nowadays.

In my view the purpose of Copilot is to lock windows down so that it only runs on a new category of hardware. So to run windows you will need to have the latest hardware and software companies can also insist that you have the latest windows. It is effectively a giant cartel trying to make you buy new hardware every few years. It could also put a stop to emulation of windows on Linux for the latest games, but this will not happen if people adopt Linux now. So there is a real battle on here !

However, keep in mind that the performance in VirtualBox is bad, the system might feel laggy and not responsive at times ... a real installation will be just fine.

Microsoft Copilot has been massively helpful to me personally, the answers that were generated were, I would guess, right 4 out of 5 times, which is not bad. Let me explain, I'm a Linux n00b and I've only installed Debian one time on an old backup desktop machine about 9 months ago, it's still running and it's as solid as a rock. Last week, I wanted to install some distro of Linux on a 14 year old ASUS gaming laptop with discrete nvidia hardware. The 9 hour long install was because I'm a n00b, and I never would have made it through to the end if that Copilot AI wasn't there to lead me by the nose through the install of an old nvidia graphics driver on a really old laptop. The install of Debian 12.7 is now done and everything is working on the old laptop. The irony of a Microsoft AI helping me to move to Linux was not lost on me.😁

Whilst I would love to switch over to linux completely, sadly I can't. I need to rely on a lot of tools that are windows only and don't run using wine or proton emulation layers. Also, most of the games I play sadly require kernal level anticheats that aren't always supported on linux. I know I can use a windows vm or dual boot, but than I would lose performance and have to manage two instead of only one operating sxstems. But apart from that, my experience with linux luckily isn't holding me back since I run Debian on my server and use it for hosting docker containers of all sorts of applications. I also tried steamos and installing arch from scratch. Definitely enjoyable, but due to missing software support, I can't reach the same level of productivity as on Windows. Let's hope this changes in the future and developers start supporting Linux instead of just Windows (and sometimes MacOS).

[@MichaelNROH]

I believe that winds are now finally changing. The Linux Desktop has caught up quite a lot in terms of polishing and many corporations (and governments) at least try to use it. This alone might be enough to accelerate software development

[@ejdavis72]

Switched about a year ago. Never going back to Windows unless I am forced to.

[@ericpowell4350]

I tried switching to Linux. Then I got a job using MacOS. Now, I'll have to start to Linux all over again.

[@mohamad20zx34]

Thanks for this goated video now that I use Fedora for My Main PC is working quite good

[@krazed0451]

My next build (on a 10 year old x99 build currently) will be dual boot, working in IT support I need access to local Windoze apps that don't all function in VM's or have Linux alternatives. I've been putting off doing this mostly out of laziness, the recent push to scrape all my data and the fact it's getting harder and harder to disable features through group policy has encouraged me to start investigating Linux distros so I'm ready to go when I build a new PC in the coming months :-)

[@Seofthwa]

My big thing is that I still play games, and it was the last thing holding me back. Now that Proton exists, and could install a AAA with no troubles my need for windows is gone. Especially since If I need MS Office I can use the web version. All the crap that MS has pulled over the years, I am done with them.

[@LeftyPencil]

Have you considered Bazzite or Nobara distros? Hope your favorites are workable on ProtonDB and AreWeAntiCheatYet

[@xard64]

I've been nearly two decades of Linux user and even back then I realized that I'd rather deal with technical issues than a system which by design is working against your own best interests. Back then these intentions were not that obvious to the end user, but the there were some hints already. These latest moves shouldn't leave any room for doubt anymore where things going soon whether you like it or not.

[@ladyattis]

Yeah, I switched to Linux Mint because of Recall, it was just the last straw for me.

[@ImDelphox]

Same here. Recall instantly killed any trust I had in microsoft and windows. I experimented with some other distros, but mint just works without any nonsense, so that's what I'm sticking with.

[@ayedraco4l]

Already did! Fedora is amazing

[@illuminerdy]

I had linux installed on a newly installed SSD and windows as backup, and after I had transferred the files I needed from windows I basically never logged back in. Reformatted the original SSD with windows as a media storage, haven't looked back.

[@WWIIREBEL]

I switched to Linux Mint back in july. I've had enough of Micro-scoff's b.s. co-pilot and a.i. garbage . The experience I'm having with Linux Mint has been rather great so far. 😁

[@LordHelmchen190]

The name copilot suggests that we are still the pilot, but we as a user have no real control of our system. Only the power to switch to a system where we have that control, if we want it.

[@CatEarDad]

Switched to lmde 6 not long ago. Love it and no regret so far... 😊

[@BWGPEI]

You're singing to choir here - we dumped MS Windows years ago, based on what MS Windows 10 was doing, did our distribution testing and settled on Linux Mint / Cinnamon. Sure, I've got the horsepower to run an AI instance, but zero urge to do so. Come the day my brain won't give me the answers I want, it's time to bury me.

[@CaponeBlackBusiness]

CachyOS masterrace!!!

[@PaulMetalhero]

We deserve freedom

[@und3rpr]

I have been a Linux user since 2008. It is just unnatural for me to use Windows nowadays

[@PremierPrep]

The only reason I've ever heard someone say they wouldn't switch to Linux is because their favorite app(s) isn't supported... but I've never heard a good reason why someone would actually WANT to stay on Windows. People generally just deal with Windows, instead of actually enjoying it like how Linux users enjoy their OS.

[@fiecylick3981]

I know for my Linux Adventure of 7 years now. I've always appreciated KVMs like QEMU or qvm for QubesOS for Windows essentials if I really need it. Parsec I know is a good recommendation for game streaming on your network with that as well. Sometimes windows is necessary depending on circumstances but I would say rarely these days now since how far Linux has become.

[@Leon_Portier]

Using Linux Mint for about a year not exclusively. It does everything I throw at it, gaming works wonderfully

[@sociald1077]

My last stint on Linux was 117 days with Nobara. But at the end, something about my setup just isn’t stable enough yet when I’m playing WoW. I get random crashes in Linux that I just don’t get in Windows. Now my NAS is running Unraid and I have 3 solid years with that, won’t be changing that any time soon.

[@GenericLeon]

My main problem is that I want to use my VR headset and Sim Wheel without switching between Operating Systems

[@2ru2pacFan]

Definitely going to make the switch! It's been a great ride Windows but time for Linux now.

[@gatienz435]

keep on keeping on!

[@logangraham2956]

the most personal ad they could serve me us just a blank square with nothing in it. because to me, if it's in an ad then it's probably compensating for something.

[@verablack3137]

My 2011 MacBook Air doesn't get any security updates from Apple, can't run much of the newer software because they won't let MacOS update to something modern on it and takes forever to load stuff on the version it does run, yet it is snappy and responsive on Linux and I can run the newest version of Firefox on the newest kernel with no issue. Because no one from Debian is making money if I trash my perfectly good computer, they have no incentive to place roadblocks in my way.

[@bvd_vlvd]

Nuked my windows partition last month after 2 years of dual booting linux. The only thing that isn't working is the ROM save type dropdown list for creating a Gameboy Advance CIA installation file within New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS that hasn't been updated in four years. Fairly niche to be honest. I don't think I'm going back anytime soon

[@_tanzil_]

Already moved to Linux. Tuxedo Os. Just perfect.

[@ozoak]

I first used Linux (Slackware) in 1994. Have run servers on it ever since, and always tinker with it on a second desktop, but for my daily driver my desktop has been Windows, because: gaming. Until May 2023. Win11 pushed me to use MS online services one too many times after taking an hour to apply updates. Near 18 mths later and I have encountered just 1 thing (Starfield Creation Kit) that I can't do that I'd like to. Here's hoping the Windows market share continues to drop.

[@spooky-3110]

The thing that gets me about AI is none of it actually useful. I was never not able to get answers to my questions from old forum or wikihow posts, I have always been able to search my own photos because I name the folders and there's a search feature in the file manager, and I like using my own brain to write and make art. None of this AI is washing my dishes or taking the trashcan out, it's just a shiny shiny sack of spy and trapware for big tech to make more sales from f00ls easily parted from their money.

[@MichaelNROH]

Depends. Some LLMs are better search engines than something like Google in a lot of cases now. The tricky part is, to actually get them to display a link to the source.

[@zezba9000]

If Linux doesn't have a DriverKit like every other OS, its not going to compete with Windows drivers. You need 3rd parties to be able to make drivers that are not open-source. They made the hardware and thus their drivers normally are better. This doesn't mean Open-Source drivers go away just as Open-Source drivers exist for Windows. But it gives both consumers and manufactures options.
