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.

    FYI: If you leave out root password on install, it instead sets your user up with sudo privileges.

      How can a new user know that? Same with the domain name that Debian installer asks you to enter.

        It says so on the installer page where you are asked to enter a root password.

        FWIW: I’m not arguing for or against Debian as a beginner friendly distribution. Just mentioning that you don’t have to set up sudo manually.

            It has for sure been there for at least a decade now. I think most people autopilot through OS installs.
