Linux Migration Guide

Sick of Windows bloat and ads? Reclaim your desktop with this practical Linux migration guide. Covering distros, privacy, and gaming compatibility for 2026.

I’ve been using Linux for years, but as the proprietary alternatives get more aggressive with telemetry and adverts, I wanted to document the choices that actually keep my desktop predictable.

This isn’t a manual, but a practical overview of my setup. From why I’ve settled on CachyOS and KDE Plasma for my main rig, to the reality of dealing with proprietary software and app compatibility in 2026. It’s just an honest look at the transition and why I’m done with the corporate defaults.

    You act like there are not enough fembois to maintain AUR. I’ve been using Linux on-off for 20 years, and have tried out so many distros. I had never such a pleasant experience with installing packages from a distro repo. I was not in need to install a single piece of software manually with cmake/make. Everything is on the repo, everything is updated, everything just works. And IF it does not work, you have a humongous community who loves to help you out.

    I am now on CachyOS for my main PC and Debian for my servers. And I have no desire to change it up.
