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.
- Is there a way to play steam games designed for Windows on Linux?/What are the drawbacks of doing this?
- Is there a way to transfer files from my old OS to the new one without using external drives (i dont have one ;-;)
- Is there a distro more suited to a Windows user going into linux rehab?
- Is there anything else I should be aware of?
TIA as always comrades and good day.
Yeah, Arch is a hell-distro. I'd argue it's the least usable option, and should only be used on a machine you never intend to use for anything other than messing around with a self-breaking linux install. Truly an option for that spare laptop catching dust in a closet somewhere.
Also, I've had pretty good luck lately with getting Kubuntu to download and install proprietary nvidia drivers, and have switched back from Neon as a result of that and a few other little gripes related to not wanting to be on the LTS version of Ubuntu. Last few installs on different systems with Nvidia drivers have all worked. YMMV of course though.

Migrating sucks, won't do it until something breaks too hard. I went with Manjaro for giving me a bunch of different wms to play with and a working kde to fall back on, but it's otherwise unimpressive as an archlinux.
I mean manjaro is fine if you're experienced, idk why they described it as scuffed. I'd still avoid recommending it to new users. Arch being super bleeding edge makes it prone to things being undertested and things getting busted. Manjaro unstable is a bit less prone to this and testing another step less prone, but I'd still recommend even more experienced people stay on just normal manjaro instead of testing or unstable.
yeah, i mean i'd never tell someone that doesn't fuck with a unix terminal to touch anything remotely related to arch. i've had to bail myself out more than once from a stick.
