Whom also likes to game every now and then ;)

Edit: Thank you all for your input and suggestions! Linux Mint shall be my next OS! Though, I think I’ll give Pop!OS a look-see as well.

    you’ve got a lot of answers, but as someone who started playing around with Linux recently I would say it’s probably better to start familiarizing yourself with some command line operations in windows now.

    Do some things like, use the terminal to search for and open programs you need, delete files, even write some basic text documents.

    yes, you’ll have to do some googling to work out how to do these things (and why it didn’t work) - and now you’re on the path to linux!

    Maybe you’ll even find a way to install a command line browser to look up the answers.

        I dont know OPs history. I grew up trying to play Theme Park from the command line in DOS without knowing what “IRQ” meant before google even existed to look it up.

        If you’ve only ever used GUIs, even knowing

         cd ..
 ls

        might be very alien.

          Maybe you’re right, the jump from pure GUI to the Windows CLI is probably a much bigger paradigm shift than between these two CLIs. I was mostly worried about OP getting discouraged from ever dabbling in CLI due to the Windows one being terrible.

            Good point. All GUIs and CLIs (usually, for consumers/slightly above average users) are complimentary rather than exclusive, worth mentioning I guess that you can use both on pretty much any system (although I pretty much only ever use caffeinate -d on Mac)
