You're looking for guidance on choosing a Linux distribution. It sounds like you're considering options like Steam OS, Ubuntu, and Debian. What kind of experience are you aiming for—lightweight or more feature-rich?
Zorin helped me a lot when I first started with Linux. Over time, I've explored various distros like BackTrack 5r2, Ubuntu, XUbuntu, Steam OS, and Fedora for different projects. For everyday use, I usually prefer either Ubuntu or XUbuntu, though they feel quite similar in practice. My top suggestion is to use a virtual machine and experiment with as many distros as possible. Good luck!
You notice I can suggest what you require, but ultimately most times... individuals attempt everything within their capabilities. Ubuntu, ElementaryOS, Linux Mint, Puppy OS, Kubuntu, and Ubuntu lite are popular since they offer a gentle learning path, closely resembling the Android environment.
I'm starting fresh by cleaning out my old drive and switching to my preferred setup.
Consider splitting the HDD and test a few options first. I’d never lock in an OS until I was sure it fits my needs—it feels too risky. I enjoy trying different choices but always make sure I’m making an informed decision. Good luck, and hope you enjoy the update!
Good news about Wine, you should be able to play games like GTA V without issues.
For gaming purposes, switching to Linux could be a poor decision.
According to the Steam website, GTA V supports only Windows platforms.
