Linux has been "good enough" to be a daily driver for years. There is very little you can't accomplish with it unless you are running some very specific software that won't run under Wine/Proton well. Even then, you could just run a VM and have a crappy windows install run in seamless mode so you can run the software that won't work well under emulation.

>I'm all-in, baby. I'm committed. If upgrading any distinct component of my PC didn't require me taking out a loan right now, I'd be seriously considering switching my GPU over to some kind of AMD thing just to make my life slightly, slightly easier. I've had it with Windows and ascended to the sunlit uplands of Linux, where the trees heave with open-source fruits and men with large beards grep things with their minds.

My start was on Puppy Linux, because we only had dialup and it's whole thing was being small and running straight out of RAM back then. It started as a 40 Mb download, and it felt easier and nicer to use than Damn Small Linux, it's primary competitor at the time. It was fast too.

Puppy was special for sure. I liked that distro a lot. Wasn't something to use as a daily driver but as a rescue or a benchmark distro is was fantastic
