I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.

Linux has been my main system since 2016. Still haven't nuked windows because I need it for removing DRM with calibre from ebooks. That is literally the only reason anymore.

Sadly I have to use it for work because Altium doesn't run on linux, but it's always nice to come home to a system that isn't a buggy piece of shit like win11 ๐Ÿ˜…

I thought Calibre was available for Linux. It isn't?

Yes but the DeDRM plugin hasn't worked since they migrated Python versions a few years ago, especially when you have to run a very old Adobe version in wine to grab the keys.
