For gaming with an NVIDIA GPU, opt for a stable Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Linux Mint. These are user-friendly and widely supported, making them great choices for beginners.
Yes, you can use multiple operating systems on a single USB stick by installing them separately and switching between them as needed.
It's also good to know YouTube is available, so I checked it out there.
SteamOS isn't compatible with Nvidia hardware as far as I know.
It’s worth exploring ZorinOS videos, especially since they’re tailored for beginners transitioning from Windows to Linux. The system runs on Ubuntu and is built to be welcoming for newcomers. It uses apt as its package manager—start with "sudo apt update" then "sudo apt upgrade" for updates. To install software, run "sudo apt install" followed by the program name, like steam or firefox. A key feature is how it prevents you from downloading Windows versions of Steam, Epic Games Launcher, and similar apps; it redirects you to the Linux alternatives instead. Also, installing Wine and winetricks are recommended steps after setting up the OS.
No one discussed it, so I'll. Linux Mint (running Mate) doesn't include Nvidia drivers by default (especially when I used a card in 2010). However, setting it up is quite straightforward because it's based on Debian/Ubuntu. The interface feels similar enough to Windows, making navigation smooth.
