Hi. I’ve been thinking about trying out Linux for a while now (haven’t used it before). I have 1 PC which I share with my son. I mainly use it to browse the web, listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, Office for work, etc. things like that. Those things have good substitutes from what I’ve read, so not an issue. But my son plays video games like The Sims, Cities Skylines, Stardew Valley, Roblox, Minecraft, Stellaris, Slime Rancher… and from what I’ve seen it’s kind of difficult to game comfortably (stable) on Linux. As for the distro I was considering Ubuntu. Currently on Windows 10 Home. Looking forward to what you guys have to say. All advice welcome. Thanks.
Pft, just enable wobbly windows and Linux will be the shit.
For everything else God invented cloud gaming.
But seriously, my kids had the choice between Windows and Linux. They chose Linux because it looks nicer. The older one is even on Discord with friends who live further away. He finds enough current games that have anti cheat for Linux enabled. And in the end they both always get back to Minecraft and Roblox.
As long as your kids currend and future friends will be on Windows there will be potential issues. There’s also the matter of familiarizing yourself with an environment that monopolyze the professional environment…
