I’m planning on switching to Linux on my main PC as I don’t want to move to Windows 11 and was curious about other people’s experiences doing so.

I have a Steam Deck and everything there works out of the box, but I imagine that’s a more curated platform compared to standard distros.

What are your experiences, good or bad?

    Screenshot from the Dolphin file manager in KDE showing what happens when you right-click on an EXE file

    This screenshot is just an FYI at some of your options. I’ve got bottles, PortProton, and the ProtonTricks launcher as options for any given EXE/MSI installer. Bottles is usually all that’s necessary but I have the others for super tricky stuff like embedded software development BS that would never be encountered by a normal person (haha).
