I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things.

I've run Arch in the past but I've gotten too old and lazy for that if I'd be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though.. and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I'd try out first this time so I figured I'd get some inspiration from you guys!

I think your next task is to start modding Skyrim so you can have the ultimate experience of spending more time setting something up only to spend a fraction of that time actually using it. XD

That or setting up a retro gaming sysgem.. gathering and scraping roms, setting up a nice frontend with cover art and everything just to never touch it again when it's done. :)

How dare you call me out like this.

Been there, done that eh? :D

I spent a few days trying to get modded skyrim working on linux, but just couldn't get the nexus mod manager working :(

I gave up, so I'll probably end up trying again in a few months when someone I know IRL brings it up again
