Hi everyone, I’m planning on moving from w11 to kubuntu (lts release - 24.04). I’m a gamer at heart, a game designer by education, and wanting to get away from Windows. I could really use some top tips, best practices, and things to look out for. I have run Linux on a Chromebook, but never as my primary PC.

I’m preparing by copying tax info, critical documents, game prototypes, and D&D documents to a USB.

Then run Linus from a different USB on restart?

Thank you for your help, and any references to specific how-to’s 😅.

    Protondb is a really good source for that information. I do want to mention protonupqt though. Basically when you go on Protondb you might see that some people are using versions of proton that aren’t included with steam(like proton-GE, aka glorious eggroll). Protonupqt provides a tool that downloads some of those for you and even installs them in steam.

    And for games that aren’t on steam using the heroic launcher (for epic, gog, and amazon(?) games) or lutris (everything else) is the way to go.

      Ty for the recommendation, I have heard that the epic store doesn’t play nice on Linux
