Hello software-savvy Hexbears, I am a person who knows basically nothing about Linux and I’m looking to switch over. I have an M1 macbook (I know, very bourgeois) and I’m not looking to get new hardware. Which Linux distribution should I choose, and what’s the best way to migrate my data over without data loss?

I’m also looking to pirate games once I switch to Linux, so a distribution good for g@ming is preferred.

    Second hand macbooks can still fetch good money if you want to swap it out for something else.

    Worth considering if you want to try linux more than you want to stay on Apple architecture.

    Linux and MacOs both branched off from the original UNIX in similar ways compared to Windows so linux can look and feel very simialr. Linux just lets you do more with its layout and features
