Another one bytes the dust. Vex is a YouTube (gaming oriented) tech channel with over 200k subscribers. He just switched and started his journey to Linux. It's a 46 minutes video, so there is lot of coverage. I think its always interesting to see of someone switching to Linux and documenting it in public, especially someone with lots of followers (OK its not a PewDiePie... but still).

I've had this Windows laptop, the Zephyrus G16. It is fast, has a beautiful display, lightweight, well-built... but it runs Windows 11. That has always been nagging me that it is holding it back, and I have only heard amazing things about Linux for the efficiency and customizability. So let's see what it can actually do.
