After recent update fiascos I decided to install PopOS on a gaming rig that ran Windows 11 (as a pre-made set).

As they say, you can't see the light in the darkness and the difference between two is like between night and day.

Stable performance, consistent Remote Play to Steam Deck, quick bootup and no "hey want to play, that's a shame cause I got 20 minutes of patches to install".

Sure it's still a Linux with all consequences (had to switch from Wayland to Xorg for remote play and being returning user after couple years it wasn't straightforward) but it works much better.

I won't ever install Windows on my family computers. If I can afford to equip them with Macs I'll do so. If not - they'll get Linux instead.
