I am figuring on switching once Arch Desktop SteamOS is officially released. I want Linux’s privacy, without technical irritations and official support from an 800-lb gorilla.

there are lots of communities ready to help you dive into Linux.
Bazzite EndeavourOS
just to start. the nice thing about Linux is that you’re not alone!

My issue is that one might be alone on their obscure distro. I tried out Bazzite, but hit a fair number of issues getting stuff to run and my UI to look how I wanted. It contains many emulation layers to run packages made for other distros, but if they don’t quite work out of box, you can’t just look up the tutorial commands built for the other platforms.
My next go might be something popular like Mint or Ubuntu just to make issue searches easier.

understandable. if you’re not afraid of the command line, i highly recommend EndeavourOS. great community, great doc, Arch-based.

I’d absolutely prefer getting away from the command line, but no distro I’ve tried has fulfilled that promise; there’s always something I’d like a certain way where there’s no intuitive UI to make that setting change.
I’m just knowledgable enough it doesn’t scare me off, it just annoys me.
