I've recently started learning about Linux as part of my journey into cybersecurity, and I'm testing out Kali Linux a bit. I'm excited about fully switching to Linux since I've learned that I can also play Windows games on it. My ideal setup involves three distros: 1) A user-friendly option for gaming installed directly on my laptop, 2) An Arch-based distro for programming and general use installed on a 1TB SSD, and 3) Kali Linux on the same SSD. Do you think this setup is workable? Also, what would be a good distro for gaming? Lastly, is there a way to migrate my files from Windows to these distros through BIOS? Thanks!

Honestly, I’d say go for Arch! It has excellent gaming support, and there are user-friendly versions like EndeavourOS. For cybersecurity, you can add the BlackArch repository to any Arch-based distro you choose—trust me, it has loads of useful tools. For programming, consider picking up Neovim; otherwise, VSCodium is solid. You can game with Steam and Lutris. If you're determined to use multiple distros, you'll likely want to share the home folder, but make sure to do your research on that!
It's totally reasonable to separate your gaming and work environments. That said, I'm curious what makes you think an Arch distro will be better for programming compared to a gaming-focused one? Both types can run similar software. Also, keep in mind that Kali isn't intended for general use; it’s more of a specialized tool. Regarding file transfer, could you clarify where your Windows files are currently stored and where you'd like them to go?
