    Probably the same reason many people use it:

    Heard about it from someone/online --> tried it in a VM --> Tried it on real hardware --> Liked it enough to keep it/ditch windows partition if they dual-booted.

    In my case, I started with Mint in 2023 and eventually distro-hopped to ArcoLinux (RIP) then Arch (BTW). Trying out Endeavour now as my Arch-Arco install is a mess and I’d like something similar to Arco.

    Oh as for the reason why: Sick of Microsoft’s shit and didn’t want to downgrade from Windows 10 to 11.

    Pretty good. Some games have issues on Linux, especially some that don’t have native controls for DualShock 4 controllers and not using Steam Input. Even the ones that do sometimes dont work without Steam Input on (which shows XBOX buttons).

    I’ve only had actual crashes with Forza Horizon 4 and 5 on Linux. Everything else works fine.

    Distro is Arch Linux (BTW).

    As to why I swapped, I get better performance on Linux than on Windows.
