As a Windows and Mac/iOS user, this is great to see. I tried switching to Linux a few different times over the years but it always seemed out of reach with its complexities, community gatekeepers, and lack of (but vastly improved and still continual improvement with) game/steam support.
With these educational mini-games though, I may give it another shot soon! Then the only real hurdle will be figuring out how to get Linux to play nice with my gpu (rtx 4000 series). I read that Bazzite is the way to go for gaming but I see that it’s still not quite working properly with my gpu, but maybe there’s something I’m not aware of?
I was in the same boat as you a month ago, Bazzite has been great. Keep in mind it’s an immutable distro which does make it a bit more annoying to use the command line if, like me, you have no idea what you’re doing. Personally I’m looking to switch away from it soon because of that but it works great with steam and I’m using a 3060 and haven’t had issues. Just make sure to choose the iso file for nvidia drivers to make easier to set up at the start.
https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/ explains very well how to approach it. There are different ways to install packages not pre loaded into bazzite in a very safe way. Have a look :)
