So anyway, any beginner tips?
I did something similar a few months ago! But honestly it took me forever to pick between GNOME and KDE. Ended up going to KDE for certain things I wanted to customise.

Curious about what you plan to play with them specs.
Runs pretty much everything in stable 60 fps, and I don't see any difference between medium and ultra settings
More specifically: DOTA 2, Pathfinder Kingmaker (took 4 hours to set this one up, and it's the SECOND time), Chrono Ark, 1000x Resist, They Are Billions, Mechwarrior 5 with friends, TTRPGs in browser, and some souls-like once I'm done with one of the listed games
Ah, okay. "Pretty much everything" in 60 fps at medium settings sounds reasonable.
Not trying to hate here btw, I was just curious. 😁
Linux is great but make sure you also have a secondary computer for if and when it randomly doesn't boot or won't update anymore. You can probably get a used laptop pretty cheap.
