Haven't been here in a bit...

A month or so ago I decided to switch my main PC to Linux (from Win11) for various reasons. Partly because of MS shenanigans, partly because the system is older and Win11 wasn't running all that well. Turns out Win11 was also taking 50+% of my GPU, and now I'm able to watch YT videos without issues when also playing Minecraft > 1.16.5. Before things would break in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways. Linux is also much faster in general.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I moved to Fedora on my home computer about a decade ago - it wasn't all joy but do not regret it for a moment... First I was using a few VM's with windows for SQL and gaming, but droped them all and today I use Windows only at work...

I have Win11 on one NVMe SSD and Linux(Pop!_OS) on another. Lately I only use Linux because I can configure it exactly like I want and never had any issues. I use Android Studio for programming and Timeshift for backup. Updates works better than on windows. Win11 I use maybe once a month.

Yup, like many others, I tried Linux (SUSe) to resurrect old hardware. Probably about 15 years ago. Now on Debian 12.5 on my main system. Windows 11 runs fine (relative thing) in a VM. This system has the right chip. I run several flavors of Windows VM's, including an old XP system that has FoxPro. All run fine on NVME drives.

I attempted to install Win11 in a VM using Gnome Boxes for something (that I later found a Linux version of), but it seems there's an issue somewhere in there that causes the installation to never continue after the initial reboot. It just sits there at the loading spinner and after about 30 minutes errors out and shuts down.

That is the real, hardware, install emulator. :)
