Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

Yes! Two folks swapped to nix, one to mint.

Getting VR to work has been a journey on nix. Everything on mint has gone smoothly afaik.

Windows 10 EOL (and moving) both roughly lined up, so we all decided to get away from big tech. The nix os was new, interesting, and feels very powerful when things work. Mint was a known safe choice.

Thank you for sharing! VR has been a well reported pain point, but interesting to hear that Linux Mint handled it well now. I don't own a VR headset -- which one do you have that played nice with Mint, if you don't mind me asking? In case I ever feel like getting my own.
