Fedora, it fucking slaps and worked right out of the box. I'm using it for work and play on my main rig! I dual boot for some very specific hardware things that are not normal, but other than that it's been seamless! When I booted into Windows 10 again, they auto installed copilot... Glad to be done with this crap.

If I may ask, what specific hardware?

For my use case with proprietary hardware I use USB Passthrough with QEMU (Virt-Manager)

Anker webcam, rgb lighting, a handful of stubborn games (pirated) on the software side. I need to learn new photo editing software too, so I may have to pop in for Adobe here and there. Other cases may arise. I've used QEMU on my proxmox server, but I don't really know what I'm doing with it. blob-no-thoughts

For games you can use Lutris and/or heroic with WINE and Proton.

RGB stuff you can use OpenRGB.

The Anker webcam doesn't work with your Linux install? What model?

I hear Gimp is getting a big update here in the near future. Not sure your use case. I don't do much photo editing anymore.

Virt-Manager is straight forward, and is a GUI that can work with QEMU.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks!!

It works just fine, but I can't change the hardware settings like FOV, focus, white balance, etc.
