    I’ve boarded the Linux train but not everyone can replace their OS nor troubleshoot issues, and good luck bringing your computer to a repair shop if you do run Linux. For the average person, they need someone to help them whether it’s Windows or Linux.

    Is it really a valid option for people outside the tech industry who don’t know programming and who play PC games?

    That’s an honest question, not a snide question.

      Generally, you don’t need to know any programming in order to install and get most mainstream distros working on your machine. Most apps/drivers are one click installs. PC Gaming is still the kicker. There are some compatibility issues, but more and more games work as time progresses.

        I would say though that it’s not really a great choice unless you are already pretty tech savvy. And these days, less and less people seem to even know how to actually use a computer, let alone one that runs Linux.

        Thanks for the response! Sounds like it might be a few more years off for me then. But I am continually more disgusted with windows… Might make the switch sooner on that account.

      Yes installing Linux mint is just as easy as installing windows. It runs almost the same as windows but faster.
