This is an utter failure of oversight in governance. And likely a misappropriation of government funds.

What a colossally shortsighted decision.

I'm really starting to think it might be time to move to linux lol. I just keep putting it off

There are some specific use cases, like some commercial software (Adobe especially) and online gaming anti-cheat, that don't work on Linux, but other than that you have nothing to lose. And you can dual boot for those cases if you must.

Give it a shot and see if you like it. I, for one, am not going back.

I'm mostly worried about the performance downgrade tbh. I remember trying the last of us on there and I had to dump the settings to low in order to even get 60 on my 3070 at 1080p when on windows I was on ultra getting consistently around 100. Maybe it was just that game idk

Could be the game, could be the version of Proton, could be the driver. Could be plenty of things. It isn't quite as plug and play as Windows can be, but it's not that bad, provided your stack is compatible. I personally don't really have any problems.
