i like gaming,browsing(brave),im open to using open source software like gimp,libreoffice,qbittorrent etc i don’t really care about specific software other than brave.

i don’t use steam,i use pirated games so they should work on whatever distro i will use.

i have no problems with learning more,searching,or posting about linux to learn. and im open to using terminal i already like it somewhat on windows.

my laptop that i will install linux on is msi gf63 with gtx 1650,i5-10500h,16gb ram,1tb ssd sata and 256gb ssd nvme.

so should i switch to linux? i feel like i don’t exactly like where microsoft is taking windows to,but im not sure if my games will work on linux.

you can ask me more questions to see if my usage is supported or not by linux. im open to any easy distro. i don’t relay on microsoft office or adobe apps or any of these things. my usage is pretty generic.

    should i switch to linux?

    So, as this is a Linux community, do you expect anything but an astounding “Yes!”?

    Going through the rest of your post, you’d have to be cautious with the Nvidia GPU. It can go anywhere from working almost seamlessly without any tinkering to causing nigh-unsolvable problems you (regretfully) might have to work around.

    But, aside from that, you should be pretty much good to go.

      Absolutely. Just replaced my 3080 with an AMD 9060 on opensuse and everything is smooth as butter. The AMD drivers are part of the linux kernel itself.
