Hello, Windows 10 user of about a year now. I would like to switch to Linux (Ubuntu or Debian), but have a couple of questions.

  1. Is there a way to play steam games designed for Windows on Linux?/What are the drawbacks of doing this?
  2. Is there a way to transfer files from my old OS to the new one without using external drives (i dont have one ;-;)
  3. Is there a distro more suited to a Windows user going into linux rehab?
  4. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

TIA as always comrades and good day.

    1 Absolutely. ProtonDB can help you identify which of your games need a bit of help to run, and which will just run fine without adjustment.

    2 If you have a secondary or other hard drives, leaving your files there will just... leave them there.

    3 KDE has a similar-ish design paradigm to Windows, so it's easy to get used to. Try Kubuntu, it's my preferred distro.
