I want to get some experience with Linux before win 10 goes end of support. I won’t be using this machine for work. Gaming primarily but also 3d printing and possibly some light piracy. Is there any reason not to install steam os?

Thanks in advance kind and wise nerds in my phone.

    manually set up sudoers

    You just install sudo and add yourself to the sudo group, or do you think sudo should be available to all users of the system by default?

    What repos do you need to add? If you don’t want to add a repo just download a release and chuck it on $PATH (same for an appimage) or compile it yourself ./configure; make -j$(nproc).

    I’m happy mint or pop or whatever exist, I don’t care which distro or even OS you use, but the above is beginner linux (including reading docs).

      Nonfree is usually something people are going to want to enable (Nvidia, Steam, Media codecs, etc)

      You can install a nonfree image, but a person could argue that needing to know which image is needed is already more advanced than other distributions.
