extremely not tech-savvy
You managed to make an account and post on Lemmy so you’re probably underestimated your technical knowledge. That being said IMHO it’s best to first list what software you use then find alternatives that work on Linux. Once that’s done then yes sure try whatever distribution you want.
If you know the right tool for the task, very few things take time. IMHO what’s more problematic is that with enshitification you’re swimming upstream. Sure as long as the maintainer finds the right trick, you can postpone indefinitely bad “surprises” but ultimately, why do so when proper alternatives more aligned with your Worldview exist?
Just finished the latest trendy AAA game (Clair Obscur) thanks to Proton and Steam… 45hrs of (amazing) gaming and I didn’t tinker with a single option.
