    It’s been interesting so far. I used it to install some programs instead of using the GUI interface.

    Did have to muck around to fix my HDMI audio latency issue. 1-3 seconds of not audio was a bit annoying.

    Managed to get my dual boot with windows setup so Linux is the default OS unless I tell it to do Windows instead.

    Even used it to shutdown the computer a few times just because I could.

    It’s not as bad or intimidating but I do know to be cautious.

    One bad SUDO and I can wipe something out.

    Treat it like Mac? funny story work issued out phones and gave me an iPhone. I had to turn to my coworker to show me how to use the darn thing. After a month I tossed it into my desk and updated all my contact info back to my Android.

    so to me that suggest I fight for a month before condemning it to the deepest pit where light will not reach.

    Joking aside I’m liking what I’ve experienced so far but in the few days of running I’ve played a few games and watched youtube videos after work. The weekend will be the bigger test.

    I’ll check that link this weekend when I have more time.

    I have limited experience with terminal. I used it to update Mint last year when I tried but had to read a lot of forums just to know what to type.

    I have no idea what btrfs is or gamescope. I’ll look them up soon.

    I did find the flat pak to help install programs and got a few loaded already.

    Agreed. I’m working towards that goal. I think the biggest hurdle is if a game runs on Windows but not as well on Linux I might opt to finish the game on Windows. Even with proton I did find a game I was playing recently was noticeably lower quality or “laggy”
