I've ditched Windows 11 for Arch Linux on my Gaming Rig!
I've been debating making the switch for a long time, but after spending like a week researching Proton, Lutris etc. on Linux, I decided to try it out and nuked my entire Windows 11 drive. :)
So far, every game I threw at it works perfectly fine, including Elden Ring & Cyberpunk.
I had to spend a little time troubleshooting some small issues but it's part of the fun!
Specs are in the neofetch, my compositor / WM is Wayfire (Wayland) :)

My man just went from 0 to hero in one single tap! Nicely done.
It took me like a couple months (4'ish) to start using Arch Linux.

It's not my first distro, as mentioned below, I've tried pretty much every "mainstream" distro. I tried Arch on a pal's computer a few years ago, practiced installing it in a VM and kept it for a few years. I went back to Windows when I built my gaming PC before I didn't know how far Linux gaming had gone. :) So i'm already very familiar with Arch, just not with Window Managers like Wayfire or Hyprland, learning one config file at a time!

Oop. Despise my "oopsie", you've done a great job regardless and I hope you have a great time in the marvelous world of Linux/GNU.

Oh no problem at all :) I already know I will, I was missing it, and getting an itch I couldn't scratch with macOS. Now I almost want to sell my M1 mac for a cheap XPS 13 or Framework laptop...
