Started playing the Witcher. Gonna try to play through all three in order. Picked them up for cheap or free a while ago, never got to them until now. So far, it feels a little clunky, but the aesthetic is great.
I think I'd be willing to let go of the handful of things that are exclusive, given that I could probably do more with a proper Linux system. It's the basic phone functionality (as others have mentioned) that keeps me from switching.
I've used both, and I've found that Heroic is much easier and generally works out of the box. At this point, I only use Lutris for things that need extremely fine-grained control.
I was running a GTX 1660ti and an i7 until yesterday using CachyOS. Worked great! Though for older cards, I might recommend a LTS distro to ensure you retain support (Mint is my go-to recommendation).
Same here! It's Arch-like in having the latest updates, but I've found it to be a lot easier and forgiving than "vanilla" Arch. Been running it for a while now and it's been a great fit.
