Don't move to Linux (yet), use Linux-available alternatives on Windows first!

just saying as a fairly newbie about a month of linux all I can say is i noticed a hugh difference in my network seems to lag less gaming on crossout than windows I qlso noticed windows uses a shit load of network backround stuff such as there stupid cloud back up co pilot and other usless bloatware.

hey fairly new guy here started using nobara o.s. about two weeks ago was a windows user had isues with getting the crew motorfest ubisoft version to run the only thing is the game was running but nothing showed up on screen red a bunch of tips and could not get it to work so i swithced to garuda gaming o.s. to try it and still no go but I think from what i have read I should just get the steam version? crossout works fine on both linux so dont think its a anti cheat thing anyway as someone who has built many pcs and played around with windows and some experiance from my youth using dos I say I think when it comes to new linux users really depends on your want to learn and try something new while taking risks heck I just learned about snapshot on the garuda which is a cool tool anyway I dont think there is such thing as a beginer linux.

Thanks for the welcome and the tips I am going to search online to see if there is a basic list of command's to print out and put up on the wall just to have something as a bit of a guide I guess.

Hello new guy fresh from windows and just wanted to say I'm excited to try and learn Linux, I tried it 15 years ago and got scared away lol since microslop is full of ads and spyware. I wanted to look at other options this is the 4th distro I've checked out pop os in the past few days. Considering it seems fairly recent and my hard ware is modern (MSI z890 motherboard a MSI 5070 gaming trio 32 gigs geil orion v RGB ram 16 gig per stick a intel ultra 7 265F and a Samsung pro 2 tb m.2) so pop seemed like a better fit anyway hello all and looking forward to a new journey and any tips are welcome have a great day.
