    Here’s the official basic guide for Mint:

    And here’s the official basic guide for Pop!:

    The main thing is to make a USB that you can boot from, so you can test things out before committing.

    Linux hasn’t really been complicated for a number of years, as long as you use something like Pop! or Linux Mint, running games through steam is painless.

    …and as long as you are not doing VR, the games you play don’t run weird anti-cheat software that’ll ban you, you don’t need windows/mac-only software for work or a hobby, you’re not operating niche hardware.

      Thanks! I meant that my perception was that Linux was complicated. My concern was that if me, an advanced user and interested in the space, still thought this that surely others did too. Definitely been on my radar though!

      I’ll be saving this to use later. Appreciate it!
