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?

    You have received tons of useful responses, so I will not add more, except to tell you that the change is extremely worth it, easier than it seems and extremely entertaining.

    I personally use Kubuntu (I love the KDE environment) and sometimes play Steam games by using Proton.

    Good luck on your Linux journey!

      thanks! right now the primary obstacle is arranging adequate backup before maling my first attempt.

      I have a laptop with Win 11 for troubleshooting so I’m not worried about that. and I have most of my stuff on externals, so there’s not much to backup. I just gotta figure out a good way to back up my C drive and a plan for reverting if necessary!
