This, so much. I tried pop_os, mint, ubuntu, and more, but all had the problem that when I had an hour to play games, It became 55min of troubleshooting some random issue and not playing because of it.
With Bazzite i can finally use linux and just boot, play a game, shutdown. No hassle.
I use Linux because it works for me, does what I want (and doesn’t do what I don’t want) most of the time. For me, it works much nicer than Windows or MacOs.
What works for you, is your thing. I don’t care. That is I’m happy for you if you got an OS that works for you, and if it doesn’t, I’ll be happy to help if I can, but if you want to stay with Windows that’s fine with me. Linux has its own problems, which are different from Windows. Depending on your needs, I can understand why one would choose one over the other, for both choises.
Personally I don’t like people who give unasked opinions regarding which OS I should use. (Unasked being key there).
Does it bother me if people shout about that they are changing to Linux while they don’t? Not at all. Does it bother me if people shout that I should change to Linux? Yes.
I wondered this too when I was using the Jetbrains ai a while back, but I came to the conclusion that it’s probably just trained on code that’s on the internet, so you’re likely to type something that’s literally in its trainingdata when you’re copying something from the web.
Edit: my comment does not answer your question, sorry about that, I don’t know. But:
Not sure if it’s the same everywhere, but in my country (in EU), you can, if your revenue is under the limit, choose one of those:
At least, that’s what I remember from googling this a few weeks ago while looking to start for myself. I could be wrong. But might be good to check.
