    It sounds like you would enjoy Linux though you should at least know that running your games will need additional hoops comparing to Windows since they’re Windows games, nothing something wild and will be mostly about changing the default WINE to Proton if you use Lutris or Heroic for them. However sometimes you will probably need to troubleshoot for some game time to time, but you’ll get used to that once you learn the idea.

    Linux Mint is likely the safest choice here. Zorin is also fine for newbies.

    Also note that, a lot of things will be different than Windows, though you can always search for an equivalent for something you used. At least the structure is much more beautiful on Linux, unlike Windows’ chaotic nature.







  • Yeah, it’s terrible!

  • They’re way too expensive especially on bigger sizes. I want one as my second monitor but I won’t be able to get one soon.

    By the way, you can still create a distraction-free environment for yourself with GUI. Just go with a minimal setup, something like Niri, Sway, river etc. (Openbox, bspwm, i3wm, Xmonad, dwm if you prefer X11).

    The key points for distraction-free is to have a minimal desktop and using a program launcher like d-menu, fuzzel or rofi. TUI programs also help a lot. This way you won’t need a second OS setup and can do everything in the same installation because TTY is restrictive for certain things.

    There are also distraction-free GUI programs that you can use. For example I prefer ghostwriter as my go-to markdown editor, Apostrophe is also great if you prefer GTK. Depending on your use cases, there are a lot of programs like these.
