  • The last time I tried a linux system for a daily driver was over 10 years ago. At the time everything felt rough, unstable, unsupported, and gaming in particular was nonexistent.

    Set up a CachyOS dual boot back in February, think I booted up Windows 3 times at most since then (and have since sorted out the issues that I had to do that for in the first place).

    I still can’t seriously recommend the switch to less tech savvy folks (try putting grandma on Mint and see what happens lmao), but we’re definitely finally getting there after all these years.





  • Dual boot is the way for right now. Proton is huge, but there are still a good number of games with compatibility issues or rootkit anticheats. Personally I advise steering clear of the latter, but that’s neither here nor there.

    I use CachyOS as my daily driver and booted up the Windows partition maybe 3 times since setting this up back in February (and most of those times were just to play REPO because Elgato hardware with dual input and output has serious issues with Linux, but I’ve sorted that out now with a workaround)
