Afternoon all.

I’m looking to make the switch away from Windows, and I wondered if people had any advice, distro suggestions and so on.

My main use cases for my PC are Gaming, Writing and Image editing. Things I’d love to have working are all my games, Epic, Steam, GoG and Game pass. I already use OpenOffice so I’m probably fine with that. And I currently use Photoshop, so a good alternative for that would be good. Finally Spotify, Discord and VPNs etc

Any and all help and suggestions would be welcomed, thanks in advance.

    Things for you to decide:

    Which desktop environment do you want (KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, cosmic, etc)

    Do you want it to be super up to date all the time? Or are you OK with slower updates for a more stable system?

    Difficulty: How hard do you want things to be? Do you want things to be set up and lots of solutions online? Or are you willing to dive deep, do stuff yourself and figure stuff out?

    I started with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and loved it. Highly recommended. I didn’t know about TuxedoOS at the time and that seems like a good place to start too. Noe I know more and am on CachyOS and am super happy with it.
