I switched my gaming/ai pc from windows to linux few months ago, and I have to say gaming for linux is very doable now, I only had few issues with battle.net but now that its setup it works fine.

And not to mention all torch and cuda stuff works just fine.

I wrote a post about it recently: https://punkx.org/jackdoe/linux-desktop.html and using it few more months I can only say that the experience is even better. I even did dist and everything kept working. So if you are thinking of giving linux a chance, now is a good time :)

My daughter's school is a "Microsoft school", and its basically forbidden to be with non Windows laptop.. even though everything works fine on macos/linux etc, even the safe exam browser.

I have never been involved in her school's policies, but this is just ridiculous. The way Microsoft claws their ways into schools and governments is just brilliant. There is a mix of incompetence, corruptions and people's people fear of being fired, and sunk cost fallacy, and its just deadlocked.



I did the same thing, I built my first new computer in years and was so annoyed at all the advertising in Windows I went full Linux for the first time in over a decade. I specifically went with an AMD GPU (7800XT) as well to avoid how wonky Nvidia is.

Works really well, the only real issue is anti-cheat but I've just decided to play those games on console instead.
