Linux is wonderful in many ways and it's made huge leaps forward in gaming, BUT beware that games will sometimes not run properly.
Maybe that manifests as an FPS-drop, maybe it means that none of your usual plugins/mods work, maybe your controller isn't linux-compatible.
Having said that, sometimes a game will run faster on linux, thanks to less bloatware flying around in the background. And again, they've come a long way with this kind of stuff since last I had a gaming-computer with linux installed (seven years ago now).
BUT, before you cheerfully rewrite all of your harddrives and lock yourself out of all of your precious video-games? Go on a reddit-tour asking around for the video-games that you actually care about, and seeing what linux-users have to say about how you should be approaching that.
Oh I'm sorry C: you've only got 6GB free? Only six fucking gig? We used to boot the OS off fucking floppy drives but I'm so so sorry that six entire gigabytes of free space isn't enough for you you poor starving thing. You've been experiencing worse and worse memory issues for months and now you're freezing and crashing every few minutes because why, you just can't make 6 gig work? Grow the fuck up.
#it's not rocket-science to install and get working (provided you're willing to look up things like ''usb-booting'')#and if all you want to do is browse the internet and write some stuff in a word-processor? i cannot recommend it enough#HOWEVER. if you want to play videogames? be careful. it's come a long way but it's definitely not flawless.#like. i genuinely BOUGHT a windows-license just to get away from how badly modded-skyrim was working for me.#(couldn't get the console to open. couldn't run SKSE. had to rely on fucking vortex instead of mod-organizer. etc)#basically? look before you leap. bcs spending a day reinstalling an OS isn't something you want to do TWICE.#microsoft#linux
