Hello, I understand you're tired of Windows and want to try Linux. You'd like to keep using apps like Zoom, Steam, and Razer Synapse while switching. Any guidance on getting started would be really helpful. Thanks!
Only CSGO and sometimes LOML and that's it. Not sure what to do, how to install Linux?
CSGO has a native version for LoL, but Proton doesn't support it. The results with Wine might be inconsistent—it could work or not.
You should pick the version you're familiar with. Ubuntu is the only one I know.
these are known as distributions, distro stands for distribution. Ubuntu is one of the well-known and most popular ones. My top suggestion is Manjaro, which is what I use. There are many distributions available, so I recommend trying Manjaro and Ubuntu along with their desktop environments.
pop os is also a strong choice. I recommend checking out Anthony's videos on switching.
Games using anti-cheat tools won't function properly. Other applications should generally work through Proton, a built-in Steam feature that lets you run Windows games on Linux, either by default or after some research, or as native software. MS Office and Adobe products aren<|pad|> can’t be found. Good alternatives exist (Libreoffice for MS Office, GIMP for Photoshop, Davinci Resolve for Premiere, several Linux PDF readers for Acrobat), but you’ll need to decide if they fully match MS and Adobe capabilities. Personally, I’ve never faced problems with Libreoffice—it supports MS Office files—but some users have reported issues. Be ready to adapt and change certain Windows habits, such as searching for executables online; Linux operates differently in this area.
