alright how do I switch to linux

[-] MostRegularPeople@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm a neanderthal. I barely know how computers work. I switched to Linux mint cinnamon a couple months ago. I'm a light user, mostly using word processing, internet, Foundry VTT to run games, and some light gaming via steam. I watched some YouTube videos and read some articles and just kinda sent it. It is offensively easy. I see no reason to go back to windows.

There are some things that take getting used to, but the user interface is really similar to windows and I would argue is largely more functional.

This video and this article helped a lot.

Remember, I am dumb and I did it. You can do it.

You embrace the Gospel of Truth from Sloppily Generated Arch Jesus.

I'd say start out with Linux Mint (debian edition) if you need something simple. Bazziteos if you're a gamer. Jump around as you see fit. Maybe put it on a vm to test it out or make a ventoy usb to put a bunch of isos on and test them all out.

when you say test them out what am I looking for? I really truthfully play very simple low demand games and older games a little, I mostly use my computer for browsing/writing/work.

easy to install, free of bullshit and compatible with Firefox lol also light demand my laptop is a little guy

When I say gaming I mean steam, proton, Wine, epic games stuff is pretty much pre installed, if you don't need all that then linux mint should do fine
