Afternoon all.

I’m looking to make the switch away from Windows, and I wondered if people had any advice, distro suggestions and so on.

My main use cases for my PC are Gaming, Writing and Image editing. Things I’d love to have working are all my games, Epic, Steam, GoG and Game pass. I already use OpenOffice so I’m probably fine with that. And I currently use Photoshop, so a good alternative for that would be good. Finally Spotify, Discord and VPNs etc

Any and all help and suggestions would be welcomed, thanks in advance.

    You’d recommend Heroic launcher over Lutris? Epic didn’t install via Lutris for me, but I haven’t got around to looking into it.

      I’ve used both, and I’ve found that Heroic is much easier and generally works out of the box. At this point, I only use Lutris for things that need extremely fine-grained control.

      I use heroic because it uses an epic games store emulator instead of actually using the epic games store, and so it’s way faster and nicer than the shitty official binary running under wine or whatever (which is what lutris does)
