im currently using windows 11 on msi gf63 laptop. if i used linux i would use ubuntu,bec it seems like the easiest thing.
i game,i use brave browser,i pirate games and software. i also like that my hoarded pirated binaries of games and software will work even years later on windows without too much effort.
i use an hp printer,and need to be able to use it on linux.
i expect to be able to use the laptop and not think about the os too much,meaning i wont distro hop or try to customize it too much. im fine with the terminal,my goal of using linux is being far from malware.
There’s some options, but it’s not something I’d rely on to work.
In my experience, there’s about a 10% chance to get something running straight out of the box with Wine, 30% with helpers like Lutris.
With Steam it’s more like 90%, which is about the same as on Windows.
