Seeking Advice for Flawless Transition from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu or Fedora)
  • Thanks for the helpful information. I tried Ubuntu just a couple of weeks ago and I have to be honest, I got tired/afraid? too quickly, I used it for about 4 hours then I went back to Windows. I know I was not ready enough for the change, that's the reason why I want to be better prepared this time. Regarding my daily usage of the software it is not something that is not available for Linux, I use MS Office (Libreoffice), I use the Jetbrains products since I want to get back to learning to code (again) and that is also available for Linux, I might be concerned about gaming on Linux since I have no idea of how to get it working there, I have read about lutrius, Wine, Proton but I barely know how to get it working or what is required for gaming. I want a good looking distro as well and I know that they are highly customizable but I just don't want to break everything in my first week.

    Here I found out that there is an Ubuntu "variation" Kubuntu that I had no idea it even existed. I like Fedora because I think that it is beautiful but I am afraid that due to the constant updates it can be a bad decision as my first distro.

    Seeking Advice for Flawless Transition from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu or Fedora)

    After more than a decade in the Windows world, I'm finally taking the step into the Linux world, specifically considering Ubuntu or Fedora. I'm looking for advice on making this transition as seamless as possible, with a focus on improving my coding experience and ensuring a smooth gaming setup.

    What are the key things I should take into account for a good transition? Any must-have tools, software, or tweaks? Additionally, I'm keen on maintaining a good gaming experience – any tips for optimizing gaming performance on these distros?

    Your insights, recommendations, and personal experiences would be immensely helpful as I embark on this exciting journey. Thanks in advance for your guidance!
