  • Been using Mint exclusively on my gaming rig for over a year, and I haven't looked back. I mostly play small indie games, so nothing taxing, but even so Proton has been a godsend.

    Actually it's probably been longer than a year. I have Windows dual booted on that machine but I never upgraded it past 7. Oh well.
