I made the switch in January, and it's been great. The only game I've had trouble with is a fully-kitted Skyrim with a bajillion external apps/runtimes, but I've managed to get even that working fine. Every other game is just Install/Play from Steam with no tweaks.

Nah, just someone trying to position an image in a Word doc.
I did that just before the tariffs were announced. Kept the old PC (Win 10) but haven't turned it on since except to copy some files. Games, .NET development, everything I need working just fine. Can't see any reason to ever go back.
No, so long as the bread and circuses continue to flow.
Am I an oddball in that as a developer, that QA answer is the sort of answer I give? It annoys management to no end.
Danny Trejo!
If I worked there, I'd be tempted to write a program that would scan and replace some characters with Unicode/international similar characters. So for example, instead of "DEI" it would become "DẸI".
"No sir, 'DEI' isn't anywhere on site."
15% are dumb or misunderstood the question at this point.
I'll have to take a look at Warpinator. Had been just doing SCP to the new machine, I'll check it out.
Same, but I was running an i5-6600K, 16GB RAM, and a 6800XT. Replaced with this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Vraylle/saved/YWC66h
Right now I'm still setting it up for work, so the tooling I'm replacing is dev-related (Remmina instead of mRemoteNG, NetPad instead of LinqPad, etc.).
Also grabbed InputLeap to share the same keyboard/mouse between old and new PC while I do this, and set up a local SSH server on the new so I could just SCP files directly to it over local network instead of popping USBs....
Been a lot of work but disturbingly fun.
I've been running Mint about a week now, same story and similar hardware. I came from substantially older hardware than you did.
As I understand it, Mint started using a much better kernel with version 22, so hardware support so far has been perfect.
Also having a great experience so far. Biggest challenge has been finding replacements for done utilities but I've had good luck there too so far.

I haven't been, but am looking at it after your post.
