Hi. I’ve been thinking about trying out Linux for a while now (haven’t used it before). I have 1 PC which I share with my son. I mainly use it to browse the web, listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, Office for work, etc. things like that. Those things have good substitutes from what I’ve read, so not an issue. But my son plays video games like The Sims, Cities Skylines, Stardew Valley, Roblox, Minecraft, Stellaris, Slime Rancher… and from what I’ve seen it’s kind of difficult to game comfortably (stable) on Linux. As for the distro I was considering Ubuntu. Currently on Windows 10 Home. Looking forward to what you guys have to say. All advice welcome. Thanks.
I just switched to Ubuntu from windows 11. Minecraft bedrock was a bit of a project, jackbox games and rollercoaster tycoon were a breeze. I had to disable secure boot and some other things in my bios. Most of my other bumps were very easily googleable, and I actually found the post operating system process better than a fresh windows install (video card drivers, network drivers etc). I have worked in tech for a long time though so ymmv.
