Just moved my Win10 machine to Pop OS. No issues at all. Haven’t tried Steam VR on it yet.

I tried it a few months ago but had issues with various games and lowered performance in almost all of them. I still don't know if I will just cave in and upgrade to win11 or try linux again, i've got a free partition waiting but the issue is lack of time and motivation to dive into troubleshooting the OS on a daily basis
Linux
I've been on Windows 11 since it was released. The only problem I had were NVIDIA drivers sometimes causing a bluescreen (mainly my fault).
Linux doesn't work for me currently, since I use RDP to connect to systems for work, and RDP clients on Linux are ass.

Made the jump already since I built a new computer and there were lots of missing windows 10 drivers for the new hardware and there was no way in hell I was going to main on windows 11.
I'm sticking with Linux due to the bullshit that Microsoft is constantly pulling. Currently, my PC is running Fedora 41, and I love it quite a bit; currently I can't imagine a future where I return to Windows 11. Proton Compatibility Layer makes gaming on any distro fairly easy!
Installed kubuntu on the laptop so I can get used to it. Still trying to find a AV and firewall app I like

My home (gaming) pc is going back to linux for sure., on the very day they drop support for 10.
I'm probably gonna go full Linux, I already run it on my laptop and my closet computer lol
I wonder if Steam OS will be ready for desktops before this
Bazzite? Bazzite Steam OS?
I meant something owned/maintained by Valve, it's a name people can trust and would catch a lot of angry Win10 users switching
personally I don't need any specific distro, but it would be a big boost for Valve
If they are ready by then, it would be perfect timing to grab a TON of users.
Already moved all my PC stuff to Linux. Laptop, desktop, media server. Been wanting to do this for years. Thanks, Valve and Proton, and to all those Linux developers who made this transition possible. Fuck M$
My system isn't even that old (maybe 4 years) and the first few times I got that very annoying popup that I should try to upgrade it told me in vague terms that I couldn't. So be it, everything runs fine now. I have backups of everything, so if WIn10 doesn't continue to work as simply unsupported one day I'll look for ways to "fix" it like someone mentioned with a 3rd party, or go to Linux and adapt to it. Anyone who has ever had a drive failure knows that the solution is to use a recovery USB which will be a portable Linux, so it will be just another version of that.
