Yeah I have windows 10 on my PC, always dabbled with Linux and had it as a dual boot but was occasional. But didn’t like what I saw of windows 11 on another device and decided to take the full plunge and only use linux.
I have no regrets - 6 months now, had been on mint before but tried a couple of distros and have been on OpenSuSe tumbleweed since December. I like KDE, I like OpenSuSe and I things like Proton with Steam mean I haven’t used my windows install in months.
I know “year of the linux desktpp” is a meme but i have to say things do feel different now. Gnome and KDE are both slick, graphics drivers are good, Steam Proton and Wine are game changers for gamers, and the aggressive behaviour of MS with Windows (and actually Google with chrome too if you want to broaden to open source) seem to be all converging to make Linux the best option (not just an OK option).
I don’t think most consumers will move but i do think if you have even basic tech savvy now, its never been easier to switch and switch for good.
I’m a Debian adherent, but I’ve been eyeballing openSUSE for Plasma 6 (and just generally not having to wait a year for certain upgrades). What are some, if any, of the gotchas folks should look out for with openSUSE + KDE Plasma?
