I've had my fill of Windows and their constant frustrating updates that seem to break my PC. I'm looking for some pointers on making the switch to Linux. My main use is gaming, and I'm aware that some Microsoft games may not be available on Linux. I'm hoping to find a beginner-friendly distribution that works well with a variety of games and peripherals. I'd prefer something simple and functional, like Windows 7, which I found to be the best version of Windows I used. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Just a heads up, some games won't work on Linux due to copy protection, like Valorant and Battlefield 6. You can check out sites like ProtonDB and AreWeAntiCheatYet for user experiences to guide you on compatibility for your favorite games.
You could turn off Windows updates and try dual-booting with Linux Mint Cinnamon to see if it fits your needs. It’s user-friendly and resembles the Windows interface nicely. Zorin OS is another option that’s easy to get started with, too!
Thanks man!
Ah good, thank you! I really hope this issue gets sorted when Steam OS comes out.
