    Steam Deck made gaming on Linux possible and that was the only thing holding me to Windows. I had been using Windows since Windows 95.

    Microsoft simply stopped making an OS and started making a subscription and content delivery platform. When they did that, they lost me as a customer.

      Once I bought a steam deck, I switched to Linux like a year later. Never looking back. I use Mac for Lightroom and the Apple ecosystem stuff. Next thing we will ditch is Xbox. I don’t want to give any money to Microsoft.

        You should check out DarkTable. There’s a mac version so you could try it there but it also runs on Linux. (It’s what I use and a decent replacement for Lightroom)
