Very positively surprised by how seamless the switch from Windows was (feddit.org)

Today, I switched the last of my Windows machines to Linux: my gaming PC. I've been using Linux on servers for many years but was a bit apprehensive for gaming.

Turns out it just... works. Just installed steam and turned proton on, have zero performance or other issues. I'm using Ubuntu 25.04 for the 6.14 kernels NT emulation performance tweaks. Aside from there not being a catalyst driver for it and so I can't undervolt my card everything is great.

It's not just odd releases, it's also releases that end in 10. 24.10 is short term too.

For new users, if you're within a year of the next LTS, just use the most recent release and switch to the LTS cadence once it launches.
