Just bought a pc laptop and want to dual boot Linux. Windows will be for some games, Linux for everything else. Would this be the right place to ask for advice?

    What’s your main concern?

    And allow me to add: the Penguin deals better and better with gaming, nowadays. Consider that as well.

    Are you looking for a distro?

      Yes, initially thoughts on a distro. As well as addressing a concern I encountered about additional steps that are perhaps necessary with an NVIDIA card (that it doesn’t mix as easily with Linux, I think). And, of course, whatever else I should know straight out the gate — although I assume a lot would be covered in the process of installing a distro.

      I’ve definitely noted the development of gaming with Linux. Dual boot was just to have one less element in the mix, as I adjust to Linux (I’ve MacOs for a while now). TBH, there’s a bit of an irrational element, too: I got a PC so I can play a bunch of games that aren’t on Macs. So if I’m going to find a workaround in Linux, well, why didn’t/don’t I do that with a Mac, instead?
