im currently using windows 11 on msi gf63 laptop. if i used linux i would use ubuntu,bec it seems like the easiest thing.
i game,i use brave browser,i pirate games and software. i also like that my hoarded pirated binaries of games and software will work even years later on windows without too much effort.
i use an hp printer,and need to be able to use it on linux.
i expect to be able to use the laptop and not think about the os too much,meaning i wont distro hop or try to customize it too much. im fine with the terminal,my goal of using linux is being far from malware.
Pirating games can be kind of a hassle on Linux. You need to install a lot of them in a Windows VM which will take up a lot of additional storage during the installation process. Once it’s installed, you can delete the extra copies. Getting the games to work can be a challenge, too. Be prepared to fiddle with a lot of stuff like Lutris and changing settings just to see what works.
