I'm planning on switching to Linux on my main PC as I don't want to move to Windows 11 and was curious about other people's experiences doing so.

I have a Steam Deck and everything there works out of the box, but I imagine that's a more curated platform compared to standard distros.

What are your experiences, good or bad?

I'm using Bazzite on hardware that is, notoriously Linux unfriendly (nvidia GPU, partitioned SSD...)

And the only major issue I had was completely self-inflicted: I tried turning on Frame Gen in Cyberpunk and it made it not happy. The game was unplayable.

The minor issue I had (that was actually OS related) was some color accuracy issues - everything looked washed out on a default install, some googling got me to a small piece of software that I set to launch on login that fixed it, allowing me to set my color saturation how I want.

Aside from that, it's been pretty straightforward. I don't play many multiplayer games, and the one I do (OSRS) is pretty well-supported. The client everyone uses runs well and I was able to install the Jagex Launcher just fine, even if it is unsupported it works fine.

Bazzite desktop has been the best desktop Linux experience I've ever had and I'll probably stick with it going forward.
