I recently changed from Windows to Linux and have tried various distributions like Voyager, Ferren, and now Ubuntu 16.04. I’ve also attempted Steam downloads on all of them, but it doesn’t save anything after shutdown. I’m not interested in returning to Windows, especially since gaming is important to me. Edit: whenever I boot into Ubuntu, it offers an install option which I’ve already installed and tested.
Install the operating system correctly. These live setups work with USB drives that can be connected to any computer and start up.
Create a bootable version of the desired distribution and start it from your installation media. Numerous tutorials are available to help you through the process.
I transferred my main Steam account to a basic profile featuring only CS:GO, aiming to concentrate more on programming and content creation, with Linux as the preferred platform.
Qt offers strong cross-platform capabilities and is widely adopted for Linux projects. KDE applications are built using Qt entirely. For command-line tools, platform independence isn’t a major concern since Windows users rarely rely on the terminal. Linux remains the dominant operating system outside traditional desktop environments.
The direction for GUIs appears to favor HTML-based "apps" wrapped with JavaScript. This means any operating system can support it, though Linux remains superior. Be aware not to implement everything in JavaScript when using this approach. Consider TypeScript or languages like Java, .NET, or C++ for the backend—Java and .NET compile once and run anywhere, while C++ is platform-dependent but offers a consistent UI.
