How difficult will it be to switch from Windows to Linux?
Hello everyone, I'm tired of constantly fixing Windows lately. Updates break, drivers break. Every day I come home from college, there's something new wrong with my computer. I want to know if I should switch to Linux from Windows now, what problems I'll encounter, what I should prepare for, and which distribution I should choose (and what graphics maybe something else).
A bit of background: my computer is relatively new - RTX 4060 8GB, R5-7500F, 32GB DDR5, and I've never had any hardware issues only software. So… I’m working with some adobe software and JetBrains IDE’s (like Rider IDE or PyCharm).
And about gaming… is it good on Linux nowadays? Like I’ve seen much news about proton and how the Steam Deck works, but I haven’t heard much about VR gaming or whether DLSS works.
UPD: I understand that Linux is not Windows, and that’s exactly what I want. I want to be the owner of my system, not the kid in the back seat fighting for the right to use the OS how I like, rather than how Microsoft tells me to. I’m tired of fighting forced updates and telemetry that eat up my resources. I'd rather spend that energy configuring a system that actually respects my hardware.
