I went with Linux Mint (Cinnamon) since I wanted a very beginner friendly experience, and I’m liking it so far!

    Welcome to the fold! Linux Mint is great and gaming works too if that’s your thing. Windows is dead. LONG LIVE LINUX

      I ran a little test game of Balatro to make sure games ran alright, and to my surprise everything seems good! (knock on wood) I always thought installing was going to be a lot more painful, but so far the worst part was backing everything up.

        It can be hit or miss from game to game, check out protondb.com if you’re ever having problems getting a game to work, sometimes there’s small tweaks you need to do. Some stuff that uses anti cheat doesn’t work as well, like Valorant or Fortnite. I’ve been gaming on Linux primarily for years though and it’s never been better.

          Good to know, thanks for the info! I don’t think any of my regular games have anti cheat (thankfully), but if I run into problems it’s good to know where to check
