Basically don't run random sudo(superuser do, root access) commands you find on the internet without reading what the command does from docs or asking ai.

Leaving windows makes you more secure.

Also don't worry about turning secureboot off. It makes it a lot less annoying and gets rid of a lot of issues. Also also steam doesn't like running on linux and having it's library on windows filesystem you gotta format them both, if your games are on a separate drive.

There you go, the two hurdles i had with linux.

Agreed.

Had the same problem with the Steam library on a Windows filesystem and some annoyances with NTFS drives.

Other than that, pretty easy overall (you have to tinker around with some games and wineversions though)
