Hello World from openSUSE Tumbleweed on the work laptop!
I was a bit naughty. The Win11 partition is gone; whoops.
It's been twenty years since I tried Linux for desktop. Plasma looks just like Windows; not sure if that's good.
Installation was flawless; wifi and hibernation "just works" (I was a bit scared; bad memories from early 2000s). Fingerprint scanner took some installs but works as well.
It even recognizes Navidrome tracks in lock screen!
My mind trips over the cmd vs ctrl now.

The biggest problem now is eye straint. That HP's screen is terrible compared to the 2020 M1 MacBook Air I'm typing this on. I tried increasing the font size but that barely helps. half the PPI and 16" instead of 13" to spread these even thinner is very painful.

@jefklak have a look at Lutris app. Windows game installer/ frontend. I can honestly say i have higher compatibility for win95/98 era games using wine/lutris than i did on modern windows. Desktop linux has come a long way.
