Hi. I’ve been thinking about trying out Linux for a while now (haven’t used it before). I have 1 PC which I share with my son. I mainly use it to browse the web, listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, Office for work, etc. things like that. Those things have good substitutes from what I’ve read, so not an issue. But my son plays video games like The Sims, Cities Skylines, Stardew Valley, Roblox, Minecraft, Stellaris, Slime Rancher… and from what I’ve seen it’s kind of difficult to game comfortably (stable) on Linux. As for the distro I was considering Ubuntu. Currently on Windows 10 Home. Looking forward to what you guys have to say. All advice welcome. Thanks.

    Remember you can dual boot. You can keep the Windows install around on a separate partition for when you need to use it.

    I play Stellaris, Stardew and Slime Rancer on Linux, and they seem to work last I’ve tried.

      I was about to say this. Strange how you seem to be the only one (so far) to suggest this sensible solution.
