Just wanted to say I made the switch yesterday from Windows 11 to Fedora Linux, no dual booting. It took multiple installs though because the first two times I followed old instructions for installing the Nvidia drivers. The third time I found out that I can just install them through the software center when third party repositories are enabled and that worked like a breeze.

And I have to say it's a really good thing that the installer for Fedora is getting an overhaul soon because Anaconda is horribly confusing in its UX.

Edit: just wanted to add a hyfetch screenshot:

Real question: how do you get around giving up EAC-based games? It's only just now occurring to me how much of my library uses it, and I don't think any of the games I play make use of the Linux EAC solutions that exist-- and a couple of those games, I actively make mods for; so it's like. The only thing keeping me from changing over at this point is just how much of my library I'd have to give up or dualboot for.

I'm not playing them in the first place. I'm not too keen on competitive multiplayer games.

EAC works fine on linux, it's just fortnite that doesn't work

EAC can work on linux, but it's on the developer to allow it so
