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.
On lemmy u will always get a yes for that question lol.
Checkout distrosea.com, u can test different linux distros through your browser. This saves u alot of time in testing distros.
U will want to install steam either way. Their proton layer works great to run acquired booty. If u have questions on how, lemmy know.
You don’t need Steam to run games with Proton. Something like Faugus Launcher is much more light weight if you’re not interested in using Steam’s other features (though many of them are very good, like Steam Input)
Haven’t heard of Faugus before, I will check it out. I found both Lutris and Heroic less hassle-free than Steam. Thanks for sharing, love me some linux goodies
If you ask in a Linux community on Lemmy, Reddit or anywhere you’ll get a yes.
yea true, but let’s not pretend as if lemmy isn’t a linux echo-chamber lol. 2 things are certain on lemmy. Linux and politics
