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.
Can’t say I’ve heard of it before now. Generally I recommend new Linux users sticking to more popular distros to maximize the size of people who can potentially help you if needed. I also think ‘gaming’ distros are overrated though and would probably just recommend kububtu for you, installing pipewire if that is something that appealed to you from drauger.
That’s sound reasoning, thank you. I’m making the assumption that it will be lighter on resources, but I do recall the Ubuntu forums being invaluable when I was running it, so that is definitely a good consideration.
every linux distro is extremely lightweight compared to windows, just try something mainstream and it’ll be fine
