Simon Bates has Given Windows The Boot! After listening with interest to your tales of tinkering with Linux, and as Windows was getting on my tits, I decided to give Linux a try. I used a piece of software on a USB called Ventoy. It allows you to put as many ISO files on a USB as you want without committing to any one operating system. I tried about 5 live Distros over the course of a week. It really is a tinkering dream. Distro-hopping is so addictive. It's like setting up a new phone then changing it again! I couldn't believe how advanced Linux has become. In the end I opted for Bazzite which is based on Fedora but geared towards gamers as I have a big Steam library. Every game just works as soon as downloaded. As Gareth said, there seems to be a decent software store with everything you need - and it all just works. Thanks guys for giving me a little nudge. Looking forward to your Linux special.
