Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

    Switched to Bazzite from windows 10 a few months ago since I read that it supports Nvidia cards well and I’m in no position to buy a new GPU. The only applications that I miss are the DAW that I used for music and Titanfall 2 as that’s through the EA launcher and have yet to find a reliable way to make it run without it falling apart. My partner (Who is not tech savvy at all) is even starting to get used to it and dislikes when she occasionally uses the windows 11 laptop (been using it for said DAW)

      I know basically nothing about it, but I feel like I’ve read about Titanfall 2 having 3rd party launchers?

      Ardour and Reaper are both excellent DAWs on Linux… But I do recognize they may not be what you used to use. Getting used to new complex software that is a lot like, but not quite what you used to use is hard.

        I hadn’t heard of Ardour, thanks for the tip, will check it out. Been using MPC for so long I might as well learn something new honestly
