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.
OpenOffice has more or less been dead for a while. Check out LibreOffice, its spiritual successor, or OnlyOffice (which people have opinions about because it’s Russian developed [I think the guy is actually Latvian]).
Also, my vote is for Bazzite. Gaming based and works out of the box with constant updates as long as you restart your computer with easy rollback if something goes wrong. Hard to break your computer, but if you like tinkering it’ll have to be containerized.
Desktop is an important choice for look and feel so check out the difference between GNOME and KDE the two main variants.
