I had a really nice #LinuxGaming moment last night

I finally formatted one of my 1 TB SSDs as EXT4 to make room for #Steam games on my #ArchLinux install.

Then, I installed Transport Fever 2 and played it through my #SteamLink

And you know what? It just worked. It was a miracle! I just happily played for an hour without even noticing I'm not running #Windows. Zero tinkering. Thanks #Valve. ☺

Awesome.

In my mind Linux is something I use on servers, but on my desktop I'm far too used to Windows. And since everything I want "just works" on Windows I haven't really found the motivation to try / switch over to Linux for my desktop.

I've been running Linux on my laptop for years but not on my PC because I thought I needed Windows for whatever it is that I was doing. In December I challenged myself to switch to Linux for a month and I never really went back. I still have dual boot Windows for when I want to play some Valorant since that doesn't work on Linux sadly.
