I'm thinking about moving from Windows to Linux because I've heard it offers a more streamlined experience with better user control and privacy. However, I'm a bit clueless about how to go about switching operating systems. I've specifically heard that MSI laptops can have some compatibility issues with Linux drivers, and I own an MSI Katana A15. I mainly use my laptop for gaming and design software like Blender, Figma, Krita, and GIMP. Any advice on getting Linux to work on my MSI laptop would be greatly appreciated!

Blender, Krita, and GIMP should run fine on your laptop. For Figma, just remember that it only has a web version available on Linux. Since your MSI laptop is using Intel WiFi, you shouldn't face any major connectivity issues either. Also, I've heard good reviews about CachyOS for gamers, so it might be worth checking out!
You might want to check out the migration page in the Linux community wiki for some helpful tips and tricks on switching. It’s super useful, especially for newcomers! Smokey also advises to only use root privileges when absolutely necessary and to verify your downloads for safety. That way, you can avoid extra issues during your transition!
