Welcome to the forums and to Linux!

Ok, iāve been here for some weeks but never could get rid of Windows Completely. Now, iāve not booted my Windows Installation for a week. Iāve got my Games set up, Overwatch works good enough, Steam Play is decent and my Rocksmith works better than on Windows. Iām finally down.
Iāve added myself with a start date of today. I was using Linux for years, but always went back to windows when i needed to ādoā something. Iām confident, that this is now done. I admit that i still keep my backup SSD with Win 10 on it if wine breaks with an update or anything goes south. Iāve set 29th of September as the date my Windows Installation will go. If i donāt need it until then, my Linux installation will move to the big SSD and Windows will finally be gone for good.
Oh, at work, iāve made that switch months ago. Yes, i do use out Terminal Server for two applications i have to, but i donāt count that.
So yeah. 100% Linux from here on out!

I just reinstalled Fedora yesterday, because grub. Does that count for anything?
Hmm if anyone was counting this

this thread made me look at when i installed manjaro. Looks like i have clicked over a year on the 12th of august (or possibly the 8th of December unsure if the date formatting is Australian or american) either way its the longest i have stayed on a single distro.

I am starting over today. Since any games I care about are available in Steam with Proton, and Iām mostly playing on the Xbox now anyways, and I cancelled my Adobe subscription two days ago, thereās basically no reason I canāt roll Linux full-time.
Iāll be using Solus on my desktop and my Lenovo T420. That MIGHT change, but not likely. Iāve been using it for several months now, non-exclusively, and itās been the least hassle out of any distro Iāve tried with my hardware.
The only things that might be an issue are my Asus GL702VM and WoW. My Asus just does not seem to want to boot from a Linux USB no matter what I tweak in UEFI. And Iāve gotten WoW to work in Solus before with Lutris, but now it keeps crashing. I even deleted it and reinstalled with Lutris again and itās not working. I donāt feel like putting too much work into that because Iāve been thinking about cancelling my sub anyways because I donāt find BfA to be all that great (I think WoW is becoming more of a nostalgia thing for me, rather than a game I can binge all weekend like I used to be able to). Maybe Iāll just stick to Dalaran WoW. Thereās no updates for that, so it shouldnāt randomly break on me.

Happy anniversary! 
I finished a 1 year Linux Challenge before it even started, but I guess Iām starting a new one.
Havenāt done much other than personalize and change the weird pseudo middle click to left click.

Nice wallpaper.
Kinda surprised your using 2gb of ram.
Probably Chrome.

Itās always the web browser that uses a duck ton of ram.
They should make them more minimal.

Nah, unused RAM is wasted RAM, but apps should be better at sharing if needed
So cache as many tabs as the browser wants, but free them when things are tightā¦

The less RAM wasted by programs, the more RAM that is available for filesystem caching and other important things.
