Reply to comment by twovests in microsoft's copilot (open an LLM helper) key might be the last straw to me going to linux by hollyhoppet

Hmm maybe i'll have a tiny dual boot partition but I don't believe anything i play uses anti-cheat.

Also I really just want something stable that I don't have to fiddle with much aside from mouse speed/acceleration settings which is why I'm looking at debian. If you have any other recs that would fill that role though I'm open to hearing them

Ya! My only arguments for pop os ("Pop! OS") is that i love the defaults, so i'll just list the defaults i like

it's based on ubuntu, which is based on debian, has no "snaps" (bad package manager system that has caused my a lot of problems), and it's custom GNOME-based desktop environment has builtin window tiling and stacking.

i like tiling a lot because i dislike the other tiling WMs which all expect you to memorize shortcuts.

i have an nvidia GPU so the ISO that comes with the appropriate drivers builtin is very very nice

I want to say at least two years now. I used Ubuntu for >10 years before that, but I kept running into issues with snaps which drove me to Pop.

On the side, System76 (popos people) is making a new Rust-based "Cosmic" desktop to eventually replace the GNOME based one. If you've used cosmic-text in a Rust project, that is what it's from!
