I use Windows for my desktop PC but I’m also a fan of Linux for work and programming.

I’m not really liking the direction windows is taking so it would be nice to explore some other alternatives. I mostly use my desktop for gaming, so I’m interested in how people are gaming on Linux

    Another recommendation for Linux Mint here. I’ve bounced between Manjaro, Ubuntu, Fedora, and I’ve found Linux Mint to just be fantastic for beginners, in that everything just works, and it does a great job of guiding the user through installation, updating drivers, updating packages (including choosing an appropriate package mirror), and setting up backups.

    It’s just really nice all around; the only thing I could complain about is lack of touchpad gesture support, but that’s probably not an issue for desktop PC usage.
