    Linux is very advanced now. You can check it out by making a bootable usb stick. No need to install it. For beginners I usually suggest ubuntu based versions like ubuntu, pop-os or mint.

      I’ve been using Linux for years. I’ve just also been using Windows, mostly for games, but given my experience on the Steam Deck I’ll probably be fine switching my desktop over.

        I suggest dual booting at first, just to have options. Good luck! :)

          My problem was that dual booting kept me from committing. I’d use Linux a bit, go back to Windows to game, then a Windows update would kill grub or whatever it’s called these days and I’d forget about it.

            Understandable. These days you dont need to go back to game either. The update aspect is really bad though.
