99% depends on your budget too. I have a 7900XTX and it has been smooth on wayland

on ExpressVPN many servers are blocked but if you pick a smaller country like Luxembourg it can work

This is the way. I dabbled with a modmic but even that developed a cable issue after a couple of years. Now everything I have is modular and all of their cables can be just swapped out.

Gaming headsets.

Kept buying whatever I could for ~60-70€ at the time, and they kept breaking within a year. Bought proper headphones for 120€ which lasted me 8 years.

Going to ask here, anyone know a music player that is similar to AIMP? It has no native support, unfortunately.

I am also dual booting because of game compability and Virtual Reality support.

I think once wine-wayland gets fully merged we will see a clear uplift in performance, at least on wayland.

This very much.

The reason I switched was the forced updates that kept slowing down my computer when I needed the juice and network. Also there was a constant pressure to “upgrade” to win11.

OP, If you don’t have many major grievances with windows, it might not be worth switching. Nothing stopping you from taking a look in case you might like it. I have enjoyed my experience so far, despite some small issues.

Nobara on my desktop, Pop_os! on my laptop. As soon as the new COSMIC DE is ready I will switch to Pop on my desktop as well.
