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.
As usual: begin with Linux Mint (Cinnamon), that’s the best beginner distro.
Steam is natively supported. Gog and Epic are easy using Heroic Games Launcher. GamePass is impossible.
If you need Photoshop, you can run it through wine, at least the old CS6 version runs fine. I think I once had CC 2014 and it worked well, too.
Spotify and Discord work well. As for VPNs, you’d have to be more specific.
