Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

I went to Linux Mint and it's been painless. All my games I want to play run on it (through Steam).

My son is getting my old computer as a hand me down and I put Mint on it, too. I've installed Sober on it so he can play Roblox. I don't know how it'll go but we'll see...

Yea, roblox and fortnite are the two hold backs for me switching my kids PCs since the anti cheat doesn't apparently work on Linux. I hadn't heard of Sober though. Hope it works out!

Sober... Roblox

It works great for my family! Only annoyance is having to run flatpak update often.
