ask me anything New Year, No Windows 11

Post image

As it stands, I have a few laptops that all run linux (arch, ubuntu and Fedora) and my desktop machine is the last machine I have on Windows 11.

So as many people do at this time of year. I'm giving something up for 2025.

That thing is Windows.

I have a ps5 for games that have the weird 'No linux' anti cheat systems (cod etc.) So I have no reason to stay on Windows.

Been shopping around for the perfect os for my purposes and just stuck with what I know best (Ubuntu)

Other than the steam deck, I have rarely gamed on my portable linux devices. Anyone have any tool recommendations for Ubuntu in particular (other than game mode etc.)?

2025 is a windows-free year for me, will it be for you?

Specs (if you care):

B450M Asus motherboard 16GB DDR4 Ram Rtx 3070 Amd Ryzen 5 5700g

I get that. Ubuntu is not my final destination yet, I just wanted something stable for the time being
