A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Asking stuff like that is always a good idea, IMO. It could be the difference between a successful Linux install and a very expensive paperweight.

... Don't ask me how to install it, though. I've only tried Ubuntu as a dual-boot, and that was several years ago.

Oh absolutely. Looking back I probably asked in a hardcore Linux enthusiast community (no fault to them, we all get tired of our parents/siblings/coworkers asking us to "fix the wif")

I just don't know where the Linux-noob safe spaces are. Is Lemmy's Linux community one?

I recommend taking a look at this Linux gaming wiki guide about getting started. It is geared towards gaming, but even if that is not your primary focus there is a lot of really useful tips and steps to take for anyone trying to switch to Linux. If you have some other questions you can shoot me a DM, I'm by no means an expert but I've been using Linux for around 4 years now so I like to think I'm at least moderately experienced!

We have actual gaming distros. They're literally put together for gamers. GloriousEggRoll, the dude who made protonGE spun up "Nobara" off of Fedora as a gaming distro. You have Garuda Linux and others.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at the guide over the weekend! Someone already mentioned Linux Mint as a starter, but if I have any questions I'll definitely take you up on the DM offer!
