    I just don’t wanna risk messing my stuff up. I’ve heard many multiplayer games with anti cheats don’t work. Plus, I have lot and lots of data and files on my computer I don’t want to risk.

    Not to mention the terminal makes absolutely no sense unless you memorize a bunch of weird abbreviations

      Reminds me of when I saw that Dankpods video about switching to linux. He thought you absolutely need the terminal. But thankfully on most modern distros you can use something like Synaptic or another package manager. Or just use an installer like on windows. Usually a .deb or .rpm file depending on distro.

      You can just keep your old system, no need to switch everything at once.

      Or just put all your data on a external drive to make sure.

      Most games work…the few anti cheat ones wont be missed for that anti cheat is basically a trojan and hence not ethical software.

      You dont need the terminal…but as a protogen u should come natural to you to use it if u need :P

          If u can js already then dont fear bash its way more easy than js, u can do it and looking stuff up sometimes is is also fully normal. In fact that makes linux kinda neat instead of fighting menues and trying to find the right setting for a thing…google usualy just spits out a oneliner u can just drop in the terminal and your problem is solved :D

    My parents started using Linux because of me! I got them a used Thinkpad and a docker, put Mint on it, and now my father can browse the internet again.
