Yes

All over the place…

Jokes on you, my system is (mostly) -O3

Usually KDE, but I’m messing around with qtile atm.

I’d still recommend dual booting, just in case…

I’d say dual boot. Jumping ship from windows to linux without it is very hard, especially if you enjoy playing a windows-only game or rely on windows-only software. A virtual machine can work for some basic software, but you need to do GPU passt trough to the VM to be able to game at all, which is a… let’s just say not insignificant amount of messing around and configuring stuff.

Android studio?

Chimera Linux is also a pretty cool independent distro…

Glory to 2B’s as~ I mean mankind…

plan on not using Wayland

Strong disagree on that one, X11 sucks

WinBTRFS is quirky at best. For the better or for worse, you’re better off either setting up a network share or sticking with mounting the NTFS partition.

Linux mint or ZorinOS. Try both and use the one you like more…

It’s between konsole and kitty for me. Both are great.

Chimera Linux is actually really nice. Been daily driving it for a little bit, and as long as you don’t have an Nvidia GPU, it should work just fine.

I’ve tried FreeBSD and in my experience, it was just like clunkier, worse documented linux. I specifically remember having issues with wifi drivers not working and drivers as a whole being a huge pain. I’ve also tried setting up OpnSense in a VM (for testing purposes) and that was just as clunky.

I’ve also thought of trying TrueNAS core… But the way I see it, it’s just clunkier TrueNAS scale without proper virtualization and with more limitations.

And those my thoughts on FreeBSD. Clunky.

E: All of that and it’s just licensed under the wrong license… I like the BSD license, I just don’t think it works for an OS.

Chimera Linux. You’d think that a distro using its own bsd-like userspace and dinit instead of systemd is janky and unusable, but it’s been one of the most painless experiences I’ve had.

Genuinely recommend trying it if you don’t have an Nvidia GPU.

Chimera Linux on the way home about it’s just a little bit of a side of the house for a while now I have to

Depends on the distribution. And how used you are to windows.

Imo, for the easiest possible experience, choose fedora and use it sorta like desktop android.

Bash

Generally, no. M$ office has some pretty invasive DRM, so your best bet to running it on linux is to run it on a windows virtual machine
