      Three steps for me.

      1. Linux on a laptop
      2. Dual boot on my main pc.
      3. Full switch done in spite after windows nuked my linux partition.

        My steps:

        1. Think about dual-booting
        2. Try to install Nobara as dual-boot
        3. Fuck up Windows install
        4. Too lazy to reinstall Windows 5.???
        5. Now own Steam Deck, have old ThinkPad and PC running Fedora

        Not dissimilar - my three steps.

        1. Ran away from vista.
        2. Get a job at Microsoft and figured I should learn how to use a core product again (Windows 10).
        3. Dual boot for years (you never know when you will need to wake up the windows for some random task), until Win 11 and recall…

      Me too. My final reason to not go back to windows was that I realized I didn’t actually really care for the games I played with restrictive anti cheat and was only playing them because they were popular.

      Now I just play games that I consciously acknowledge I’m enjoying playing, and that has been great for mental health as well.

      I’ve been playing with Linux for almost 20 years and only wiped my windows partition maybe 2 years ago. I figured I can run a windows VM on my Proxmox rig, but I haven’t had the need to yet (probably helps that I’m not big into gaming).
