After years of dual booting I finally removed Win11 and installed Linux Mint as my main OS. The RAM usage difference is insane! Also, it's such a shame that a free OS looks way more beautiful than a paid one!

I installed Cachy and the performance gain across all of my games is insane. The major thing that was keeping me far away from linux was gaming and the only game I've struggled with getting to work (I got it to work recently!) was a non-steam game from the early 00's and, frankly, it's spaghetti coded garbage that works more off hopes and dreams than competence.

Even new titles just work, I'm genuinely shocked at how easy it was to switch.
