    How I predict my migration will go:

    1. Take a week off work so I can focus.
    2. Load Ubuntu and get Proton / Steam up and running.
    3. Spend remainder of the work troubleshooting audio & video issues.
    4. Either get everything working by the end of the week, or live my ass up and install Windows 11.

      Gaming…straight to Bazzite, you’ll likely be playing in an hour. Why wait, just point the installer at an external drive and see what it’s like.

      Just install Mint if you’re already planning on ubuntu. It’s basically the same thing under the hood, but with more polish and shine and without Canonical’s junk.

      I’m thinking of buying a Mini-PC just to fiddle around with Linux and get used to it. I wish I had started using Linux regularly 20 years ago.

        Honestly, you’ll be better off getting into linux now than any previous years. It’s pretty easy and practical these days especially with the push into the Steam Deck. It’s pretty much plug(install)-and-play with most systems, there’s only a few outliers like custom pc’s and a small amount of games that will give you any sort of problems.

        I run one windows, one mac, and like 5 linux machines. If you stick with the more popular linux distributions like debian you won’t run into weird problems. It’s only surfing weird distro’s like elementary and pop OS that I’ve had to do further troubleshooting on.
