I’m just so sick of Microsoft and Google. But there’s two things holding me back:

  1. I wanna play Steam games on my PC

  2. I am just an amateur hobbyist, not a tech wizard

Is there any hope for me?

    Very few programs require anything complicated to get them working. A lot of productivity programs don’t support Linux though, like anything from Adobe, but there are usually alternatives, and if not can often be run in a VM. This probably doesn’t matter for you though, since you don’t seem to be particularly technical (not an insult). You probably know what programs you need that may not work. If there’s nothing like that then you’ll be fine.

      yeah adobe isn’t something i use regularly. not sure whether you mean photoshop (never) or pdf viewer (which i use adobe for and also hate)

      Um, on any given day I’m running Steam, VLC, and Firefox. yeah it seems that those are all better than fine

        Yeah, anything Adobe won’t work, but there are plenty of PDF viewers that do. Also, yes, Steam, VLC, and Firefox all work perfectly fine on Linux. You shouldn’t have any issues.
