I got rid of my dual boot arch/windows, and installed single boot draugerOS this week end.
Seriously i hope it stays like that, i don't want to bother with viruses in the future
...security by obscurity? Guess when Linux finally explodes in popularity, you'll see me over on FreeBSD instead
In what way does "security by obscurity" apply here?
fewer consumer targeting Linux viruses because smol usr base
I see. That's not what "security by obscurity" means in my world, but the expression certainly sounds like it could. It's not like I own the meaning of words, so it's interesting to hear what it means to others. Could also have been meant figuratively, I suppose.
I meant it in the sense of using an obscure operating system to be less likely to be targeted by a threat actor.
Or to be more general, using obscure software for increased security, over actually correctly configuring and using secure software.
Viruses already exist for Linux and have for a long time. They are less prevalent than Windows but this obviously shouldn't be the primary defense strategy for your device.
Whelp, I ain't helping the cause. I might be running Fedora on both my computers, but I can't be bothered to game.
FreeDoom isn't a game, it's a lifestyle
There are dozens of us!
Oh, that was me. I installed it on my desktop Linux computer the other day.
You're welcome.

Installed Pop!_OS from Windows 11 two weeks ago myself.

And just to let people know, you are not limited to Linux games only. You can play windows games on Linux. Took me a while to figure this out.
Just wanted to add to this for those who don't know, windows games work through a comparability later called Proton, it usually works great, but some games don't work well with it. (Mostly anticheat and stuff like that causing issues IIRC) I would always recommend checking ProtonDB before purchasing any game without explicit Linux support
Valve needs to enable Proton by default.
Didn't they make the change recently?
I just installed Bazzite, it's all baked in.
I have bazzite on my daughter's machine. I still had to enable compatibility for other titles. It's not a huge deal if you know it's there, but it can be a stumbling block for someone testing the waters.
Proton for the win. (dows)
