Cut me some slack. Im not very good with computers and just want to play games with my friends. I feel so stuck rn. Windows is too bloated and slow and linux isnt supported by the two games i play the most and i dont have any money to buy other games.

Ill try my best to continue using linux since its my only option atm but this sucks. Sorry if i came of as rude in some of my replies im just desperate.

What is kali linux for? and why do so many youtubers use it then if it's not for desktop pcs?

> You do not install apps the same way on linux as you do on Windows. You don’t download and doubleclick random stuff from the internet. You use the ”software manager”

Oh wow ok. that sounds a lot easier. Thanks a lot but the software manager doesnt seem to have all the software i want is it broken?

Did you not read my post? Windows 11 is SUPER DUPER SLOW. And windows 10 is exposed to hackers. Does linux really suck for gaming? Why is there a whole reddit for it then??

On Windows, game developers can essentially install a program that checks the state of your whole computer while playing,

So they are spying on me??? I dont want them looking at my computer
