    Or any of the other “easy” distros. To be honest… The “gaming” distros have been just as easy as mint to me. Cachy, bazzite, and to a lesser degree nobara (points knocked off for giving me grief after an update) have all been very easy and stable.

    I think people get scared because everyone says you need to use command line in Linux. That’s not really true any more than it is in Windows. There are certain things that are easier with command line or other things that might need to be done there, but it’s easier and faster to look up what those things are than navigating the purposefully buried settings in Windows and everything basic can be done in gui anyhow. You can get as technical as you want in Linux.

    The hardest thing for me about switching was finding comparable programs that I was used to. It takes time to find THE BEST PDF EDITOR or anything else on a new OS.

      Bazzite is so user friendly that I could, and did, set it up on a Steam Deck…

      …without a mouse or keyboard, with just the Steam Deck as a controller!

      Then I figured out how to set up containers, and built a Debian environment, that can and did successfully compile different game engines from source.

      Again, without a mouse or keyboard.

      … Did I mention I’m currently crippled in the right wrist and shoulder and arm?

      Bazzite on a Deck is extremely usable.
