Second whoever said massage gun, nail on the head.

It won't be nearly as interesting or fun (as Horizon) I don't think.

I've had similar thoughts and sentiments in my (short) Linux journey, my only advice is to distro-hop a bit as many Lemmings preach, find your fit (in VM/live mode or separate machine) and dive right in.

Side effects may include hair loss in early introduction, stick with it, it's worth it.

100% on the TLDR there, I'll edit as such, that comment is open source ;)

I've been running Ubuntu on a separate machine for a little while now, and it works great, just not a good fit for me.

I'm happy to say within 2 weeks of my dual boot I'm already on mint 90% of the time. It just fucking works. (Without waking me up at 2-4am sending the fans to mach 7 for a damn windows update).

I've been experiencing Windows' degredation since 98/XP, it's been an extremely smooth transition from Windows 10 to Linux Mint.

Still working out the kinks with my game library but apart from new user errors it's worked flawlessly (unlike Win10).

Thank you Lemmings for showing me to the light!

Edit/TLDR: it's kinda like windows, but functional and user control is king.

I'm currently testing my game library before I relegate windows to a cage, some teething issues as I expected but I'll get through it.

I will absolutely poke windows with a stick, preferably a pointy, barbed wire wrapped one.

I had the same idea while I was setting up my dual-boot.

That's exactly what I've gone and done.

Needless to say I've not been woken up @2-4am when the PC powers itself up and sends the fans to infinity/turning all the lights on.

Fuck windows to the moon, now I just gotta figure out why steam only launches stuff 50% of the time.
