Hello there 1- It really depends on your build, distro and drivers being used. Some benchmarks show Ray tracing causes performance drop compared to Windows.

2- There are mod managers here and there but, honestly I don't mod so I don't know anything about it.

3- If a program doesn't have Linux version, there might be Linux alternative. Those alternatives sometimes might not be on par with their counterparts though. Adobe products are one bit example.

4- Applications developed with .NET may be built on Linux through Mono framework, as long as they are developed as portable. For native Windows programs, there is a compatibility layer named WINE, but it won't guarantee that every program will work. It may support games as well, but for games Proton is more preferred. Proton is Valve's official tool anyway.

5- Distributions' package managers will manage updates, either application updates or system updates. Most distros will also notify users about updates, however installing them is up to user's decision. Universal package managers like Flatpak are responsible their own updates.

6- Linux is way more secure than Windows for being what it is. Being an open source does not inherently mean that it's secure. But open source softwares are generally peer reviewed by public and they are often recommended fixes thus if there is any vulnerability, it's fixed more quickly. Antiviruses are not needed, not because there is not Linux viruses though. There is ClamAV anti-virus, also there are proprietary AV applications, if you still need. AV's are mostly ineffective in today's technology.

7- AMD drivers, for example way more reliable than their Windows ones. Nvidia also made a lot of progress in recent years, so yes. There might be still some issues, lack of features.

8- No, it cannot.

9- For a beginner, Linux Mint is and always has been best choice for start, in my opinion.

Eternal life is p2w coming with season pass

Not everyone has enough knowledge to differentiate fake posts from real posts. Some people come here to learn new things, some others come to ask questions, to learn troubleshooting. You make one claim and refuse elaborate further. Instead, you insult people who ask for explanation. Understood, you are a genius which can see things and everybody else is pathetic losers.

"It's fake because I say so" is anything but a valid argument. This comment is no better than those fake posts you are mentioning.

"Unskilled labor" whom they don't want to pay shit to.

Alien Arena, Urban Terror, Xonotic

Unfortunately Linux has tons of them nowadays. Google, Amazon, Microsoft are three of them that I know. And not just in kernel, but they also contribute in other projects in the ecosystem.

I remember this because Bill Gates was literally the richest person at the time but lost his position due to lawsuits like this.

I know. I am a Linux enthusiast myself. After Sadya got in the position, Microsoft suddenly became to get interested in Linux, contributing to projects and even funding them. But to this day, I still do not trust them.

My memory might be weak on this topic but Microsoft has already went through a lawsuit due to not allowing people to use other browsers. And that case made Bill Gates lose money.

OK my bad. It wasn't Steam statistics, but another statistics for overall Linux desktop usageon statcounter

No, I am so lazy to find source right now but it was a steam statistics too.

It was around 5%. Ban on online games might have affected.

I unplugged SATA cables last night, booted from Windows USB to install it, SSD disconnected again mid course :) SSD is disconnected somehow and if it happens in OS installed on, it causes crash. On USB, there is no crash. It's not HDD, not memory or cpu, not SSD (it's brand new already). I'm down to motherboard at this point.

It's 1 year old, still has warranty. 800 watt gold+. It had no problems so far. I thought it might be the cause, but SSD seeming disconnected even after restart (not everytime) makes me think it's either SSD or motherboard. But still not sure of anything.

Memtests showed nothing. I also ran SSD check in BIOS settings, still nothing. I will try again. As of live Linux over USB, it's stable even with storage connected. I also have an installed system that may run to issues.

SSD's are m2. Could it be about hdd's?

Can you elaborate please?

Windows 10 ending support just means that you won't get updates. Your Windows 10 installation won't vanish instantly. Keeping Windows is when you change your mind or have a problem with your Linux installation, to have a backup system.

That's a good. You may still keep Windows on the side to use just in case. And you may use Linux all the time until you get really used to it. Then you may totally remove it sometime. I advise you to keep it until you're really sure.
