The PC Gamer team have ditched Windows and moved to Linux. A few of us have, anyways. Join us as we talk about making that leap, why we did it, what we like about an open source OS, and at least one tale of when it all went wrong at the worst possible time. We’re new to Linux but we like what we see—are you considering making the change, too?
