Lots of streaming of Hytale going on... pretty impressive given its rocky history and being almost an alpha early access.

A long time ago at this point the hype died and hadn't heard of it again till it recently resurfaced

That's understandable the project was picked up by a big publisher with a lot of hype around it and then cancelled, the original creator bought back the rights and continued work on it with a new team

Thought of the week cachyos (arch) style rolling release as they come out updates may be annoying and problematic.

At least for steam gaming has become much easier unless the game has aggressive DRM. Almost doesn't matter which distro as steam and proton work on most now.

More gaming focused distros have popped up.

I've really been considering making the change over since Microsoft seems hell bent on injecting AI slop into everything... I just want an OS that runs games and Clip Studio!!

Looks like drivers do exist, question is do they just work or require fiddling.

At any rate I if going down this path I would highly suggest a dual boot / separate drive like I have been doing..

For the most part I put in another drive, updated my bios and then changed my boot order to use the drive with linux installed.. I can role back to windows if needed but have been daily driving linux for home use as the default.

Some edge case stuff is still annoying that has little to do with support and more to do with tradition / standards.

IE you may be really used to Windows Fonts. The default ones are licensed fonts, and some websites set them as the preferred font to use. Thus when you load up linux some sites look "off" in the browser and it comes down to the fonts or even the font rendering (we have had MS font smoothing on LCD/LED monitors for a few decades and it impacts how you see the fonts.

You can however go grab all the .ttf font files off your windows partition and dump them into linux lol.

Man, that's awesome! I have been considering making the switch but there's lack of support for my tablet and Clip Studio which I use almost daily

Just curious what is your specific tablet ?

It's really old
