I wrote an article on my switch to Nobara Linux. I think this community might enjoy the journey.

    Here is what I gathered:

    Switching to Linux mainly motivated by privacy, security, flexibility, and performance.

    The writer also supports Linux as a community-driven alternative to large corporations.

    The author views dual booting as beneficial for resale value, software gaps, and gaming compatibility.

    The Linux installation used was Nobara, though it had its own challenges.

    The writer’s extensive experience with Linux dates back to the late '90s.

    The Linux community’s condescending and elitist attitudes are viewed as a drawback.

    The writer chose Nobara Linux due to its functionality and fewer roadblocks compared to other distributions.

    The performance and user experience of Nobara Linux is generally superior to Windows 11, though there are issues like Bluetooth lag and system freeze. Gaming on Steam is generally favorable, though there are minor issues with certain games.

    KDE is praised for its functionality and features, especially KDE Connect for multimedia transfers. Minor issues with accessing certain file types and RGB lighting preferences are noted.
