  • Will my ability to play games be significantly affected compared to Windows?

    It will be somewhat affected, but most games can be played via wine/proton.

    Can I mod games as freely and as easily as I do on Windows?

    Depends on the game and mods? Some games like Minecraft can run and be modded natively in Linux.

    If a program has no Linux version, is it unusable, or are there workarounds?

    Again, there is wine/proton for that.

    Can Linux run programs that rely on frameworks like .NET or other Windows-specific libraries?

    If I remember correctly, you can install .NET, DirectX and so on in wine.

    How do OS updates work in Linux? Is there a “Linux Update” program like what Windows has?

    You are going to love updates coming from Windows. Basically you run your package manager update command and everything is taken care of.

    How does digital security work on Linux? Is it more vulnerable due to being open source? Is there integrated antivirus software, or will I have to source that myself?

    I’m no security expert, but the consensus is that it’s more secure. I’ll leave it to more competent people to explain.

    Are GPU drivers reliable on Linux?

    Depends. NVIDIA used to be annoying to manage.

    Can Linux (in the case of a misconfiguration or serious failure) potentially damage hardware?

    About this, I have no idea.

    And also, what distro might be best for me?

    I have seen Linux Mint often suggested to new users, but picking a distro is a topic that deserves a whole new post.

    A few interesting snippets from the conversation.

    nobody knows who the Houthis are – which is why we would need to stay focused on: 1) Biden failed & 2) Iran funded.

    Always blame the previous admin.

    But, we can easily pause. And if we do, I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC”—operations security.

    […]

    In his text detailing aspects of the forthcoming attack on Houthi targets, Hegseth wrote to the group—which, at the time, included me—“We are currently clean on OPSEC.”

    LoL, the irony.

    VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.

    Well, fuck you too Vice President JD Vance and US Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth.
