Pretty good!

After reading about Windows Recall last week I decided I'm making the change to Linux. (Dual boot for now, since I'm an avid gamer and don't want to lose my games, so I need a few months to make sure nothing will break.)

Currently typing this from my fresh installation of Brave on my fresh installation of Linux Mint.

Feels good to say "!@#$ you, Microsoft".

Welcome to the shitshow. :D As an aside, if you're ever running non-Linux apps outside of Steam, I can't recommend Bottles enough. I've been using it for games and others apps and my experience with it has been awesome.

That is exceedingly helpful. Thank you.

I'm tentatively planning to ditch Windows completely in a few months. I just want to use Linux daily for a while until I'm comfortable with it and certain I'm good to go on the gaming side.

For sure, it's a tool I wish I had known about a lot sooner. I hope your journey goes well. :)
