  There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities the other day talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you’re holding out until it’s perfect then you’ll be waiting forever!

    This is a good point. I think it’s definitely worth people trying it out if they haven’t and they might be surprised by how good it is. That said, it does still depend on the person, if there’s a particular app or workflow that needs Windows and there’s simply no good alternative then you’re kinda stuck which sucks. For me I almost never boot into Windows these days but I still wouldn’t feel comfortable totally removing it yet. Maybe one day soon.

      Same, the dual-boot is there just in case but it gets less and less use as time goes by
