I'm backing up my windows device today and plan on installing a Linux distro. My primary use for this PC is gaming, though I do complete some banking and other tasks I find cumbersome on my phone.

My technical skill level is "knows enough to get into the shit, but not enough to get out." I did use Ubuntu exclusively for a period of about 3-5 years over a decade ago.

One con I've found regarding this OS is that it has "no browser in Live environment," but I have no idea what that means.

If anyone has experience with this OS or good tips/recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I assume it means they don't include a web browser in the bootable live USB environment. Which is odd. But I also assume when installed it will include Firefox or something.

That said, have you also considered Bazzite? It worked great for me.

+1 for Bazzite 💯

I look into it, thank you. I looked around the web and it was mentioned multiple times and looks more like windows then MacOS.

With Bazzite, you can choose which desktop environment you want to use when you download the ISO. The KDE desktop will be more windows like, and the gnome desktop will be more similar to MacOS. The underlying OS is the same.

I saw that! It definitely makes for a compelling option. While I'm a bit saddened that there seems to be more support for Nvidia than AMD (if I'm reading it correctly), that isn't something I'm not accustomed to.

With Bazzite you will choose AMD or Nvidia when downloading the iso.

You probably are seeing more about NVIDIA because it's usually more difficult to get things working with NVIDIA than AMD on Linux, so it's a bigger deal that they have NVIDIA working out of the box.

Ah, ok. I misunderstood. Good to know, thank you.
