i like gaming,browsing(brave),im open to using open source software like gimp,libreoffice,qbittorrent etc i don’t really care about specific software other than brave.

i don’t use steam,i use pirated games so they should work on whatever distro i will use.

i have no problems with learning more,searching,or posting about linux to learn. and im open to using terminal i already like it somewhat on windows.

my laptop that i will install linux on is msi gf63 with gtx 1650,i5-10500h,16gb ram,1tb ssd sata and 256gb ssd nvme.

so should i switch to linux? i feel like i don’t exactly like where microsoft is taking windows to,but im not sure if my games will work on linux.

you can ask me more questions to see if my usage is supported or not by linux. im open to any easy distro. i don’t relay on microsoft office or adobe apps or any of these things. my usage is pretty generic.

    Fortunately the only issue I’ve had with mine is one time it decided it didn’t want to mount properly. I got it fixed, but then pulled everything I wanted to keep off it and switched to BTRFS. I imagine people with dual-boot are more likely to see issues though.

      People with dual boot are more likely to have games on NTFS and think that they can use them under Linux and not realize that just because some people get lucky with it for a while does not override the fact that the proton GitHub itself says do not use NTFS for the previously stated reasons
