From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I did, discord was a mess (the systray icon not working and couldn't stream audio), no parsec host support and other little things.
Yes, there are alternatives/workarounds but it's too much of a hustle to play some games if the alternative is w10, I already know how to optimize it/solve common issues and for this specific case "it just works"
Do you mind me asking which Distro you had used? I recently switched from w10 and haven't had any issues with discord or audio.
Which distro did you use? I have a win 10 laptop and I might switch over to a Linux distro
I been using Nobara instead of Windows for about 4 months, so far haven't had any major issues. Updater works and hasn't broken anything yet, found installs Nvidia drivers without issue. Only issue I have is that the few times I stream on discord for friends it doesn't capture audio.
