I’m considering installing Linux on my laptop but I’m unsure if I should start with a virtual machine first. My main use cases are gaming and coding, so I want to make sure it’s the right fit.

What are the pros and cons of using Linux for someone like me? Would starting with VirtualBox be a good idea before going all in?

    For gaming I’ve had zero issues on bazzite, comes ready out of the box.

    Its worth it to check https://www.protondb.com/ to see if the game you like works.

    Personally for coding, I think Fedora Atomic is pretty up there because they make it easy to containerize everything

      Bluefin-dx is the more dev oriented version, and I think Bazzite has a -dx version as well. But I agree, I’m using Bluefin and love it for the containerization.
