Do you have a separate computer that you can use to do a “test run” of using Linux? If not, I would at least play around with Linux in a virtual machine before committing to the bit (and I say this as someone who has been using Linux laptop / Windows desktop for 6-7 ish years now)

    Yeah, this was my strategy. Used Mint on a secondary computer until I got more comfortable with it, then made the plunge on my main computer. Made the transition so much easier, as I was able to learn the differences at a relaxed pace.

    I might make the plunge soon as my desktop is just slightly too old—but, at the same time, I need Windows for a few things for work so it's a little frustrating 🫠

    Gaming wise I'm completely able to use Linux, but I also don't really play competitive games with anti-cheat so it is not exactly surprising.
