I know my main machine still uses Windows. I hope my ThinkPad T480 running PopOS makes up for it :D

Edit: Added my laptop distro because is hard to see it on the picture :)

I think if you show that you have Rust's cargo installed, you'll be forgiven

Eh, not everyone gets a choice in what operating system they use. You made good gaming choices at least. And your socks are cool. So I say this definitely counts. :)

POP_OS, SteamOS, and presumably Windows10?

The fact they're using a Windows UI for all of them is so cursed T.T

That take's a smidge too close to gatekeeping for my taste tbh

We'll truth be said I'm still new to Linux, I just started using it this year on my personal laptop. I guess I still need to learn all the possibilities when it comes to customizing it >.<

No rush. There's no deadline. If it works for you, then it's all gravy. :)

I'm not trying to gatekeep or anything. It's just to me like pineapple on pizza or socks with sandals are to other people: A crime against humanity worthy of the death penalty

For the record, I'm a staunch supporter of pineapple on pizza and socks with sandals, and I'd support pardoning anyone guilty of either crime

My PopOS is almost OOB setup, and I barely touch desktop mode on my steam deck, I guess I'm used to having a taskbar on the bottom tough ( even if I love the PopOS app launcher )

I was curious on trying hyprland, but It seems nightmarish to setup :c

I'm just giving you shit as someone who is finally kicking their Windows addiction

Have you tried gaming on Pop yet? I've heard it works pretty well. I went with CachyOS to replace my last Windows box since games were the only reason I kept it around. Not absolutely loving Arch/Pacman yet though...

I mean, my ThinkPad is not the beefiest machine; I've played some Minecraft on it, and it went great. ๐Ÿ˜‚

But I've heard it's a very nice distro for gaming. In the end, I went with a Debian-based one because I have some experience managing Ubuntu machines. Maybe someday I'll try Arch, who knows? :)
