Thanks for you answer. I'm a novice concerning linux. I wish too leave microsoft but i'm a bit afraid of breaking my computer.

So far i'm hesitating between mint and pop!_os in dual boot

Honestly, I would say either of those are good options to start with. I sincerely doubt fully breaking the PC. Maybe research Linux for your GPU, you may have multiple options. It may be worth a second hard drive so you can easily swap back and forth until you are fully comfortable. Dual booting on the same HDD is also possible, but more annoying.

Personal issue I ran into: motherboard customization on my big gamer doesn't work without Windows... Not a huge deal, but my Rainbow LED runs its animation in reverse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good idea ! I will install it on an external HDD (I have a laptop), so if there is any problem my computer will still be safe. And once i'll will be use to it (in 6 months or a year maybe) I can fully install in in place of Windows ! It's a great advice ! Thank you !!!

are you looking at the newer version of pop os? It's still in beta, I think you would have a better experience with mint.

[–] bourrelier@jlai.lu 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I guess I am aiming at a stable version in order to prevent difficulties

Same answer as that other guy. I tried Pop OS for a few months, and while the automatic tiling is tempting, it's really buggy even with the new version. Linux Mint is the easiest IMHO and looks a bit like Windows 2000. I love it so far.
