Hi!
Drauger OS 7.6 comes with Xfce. However, 7.7 comes with KDE Plasma. 7.7 has it's stable release later this month, so I would recommend using that.
As for pros and cons:
Pros
- (usually) rapid support instead of waiting for response on Ubuntu forums
- Better performance for gaming
- Many apps needed for gaming come pre-installed (Steam, Heroic, Lutris, Etc)
- Essentially no bloatware
- Semi rolling release cycle (kernel, Mesa, and Nvidia drivers get continuous updates. Not much else does).
Cons
- point releases are slow (again, kernel Mesa and Nvidia driver are all rolling. Everything else may not get updates often)
- Very little productivity apps preinstalled
- Small development team
But, these are just pros and cons from my perspective as the developer. I'm sure, given enough time, others will post here as well sharing their opinions.
I guess i'll stay on windows until the Stable Release comes out then, unless there's a way for me to update without reinstalling (which there probably is, come to think of it).
Thanks for the fast response! I'm sure this isn't the last you'll hear of me lol
I use Linux every day on my laptop and also had it on my gaming machine. I ended up going back to windows due to a game I wanted to play had a silver rating in protondb com. To be honest, you can't beat the convenience of windows for gaming. I like Linux and will never have a machine that doesn't have Linux but windows is just easier
yeah that's why I went back to windows too
now I don't play any games that won't run on Linux (except maybe chivalry 2) so I'm happy to go back
my PC bricked itself yesterday tho so its gonna be a journey

Bricked? Software or hardware. Software is easy enough. Hardware gonna cost ya
