And that mon ami, is why I’m even considering going back to Linux. I will admit one reason I’m hesitant is that I’m a senior citizen now (fuck it feels weird to actually say that out loud), and I’m concerned about how well I can learn a new operating system. Mind you, they say mental challenges help keep the brain young :D
Dual boot with something linux - i can suggest and recommend mint. Thats what i did, and although i still need to boot into windows for work purposes, there is no software that i need privately that requires windows. So my old laptop and media pc run Mint exclusively, and my main pc is dual boot, using Mint for everything but work.
I envy your opportunity as a retired sort, to raise two fingers at microslop and any software provider that wont develop cross platform solutions.

I’ll look into Mint. I need something that will work well with games (I’ve been a gamer my whole life) and OBS for my streams.
And not retired yet. Just old.
Apoligues for misinterpreting. If you’re games focussed then by all means try mint, but Bazzite might be a simpler implementation.
This might be useful as a intro reference point for your investigations: https://www.xda-developers.com/bazzite-has-me-reconsidering-windows/
I’m sure you could dual boot that as easily as mint.
