I’m backing up my windows device today and plan on installing a Linux distro. My primary use for this PC is gaming, though I do complete some banking and other tasks I find cumbersome on my phone.

My technical skill level is “knows enough to get into the shit, but not enough to get out.” I did use Ubuntu exclusively for a period of about 3-5 years over a decade ago.

One con I’ve found regarding this OS is that it has “no browser in Live environment,” but I have no idea what that means.

If anyone has experience with this OS or good tips/recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    That’s sound reasoning, thank you. I’m making the assumption that it will be lighter on resources, but I do recall the Ubuntu forums being invaluable when I was running it, so that is definitely a good consideration.

      every linux distro is extremely lightweight compared to windows, just try something mainstream and it’ll be fine
