yep, i like my fellow six sided ursines

this is your brain on an MBA (fake degree)

because i'm a furry

here you go, this should get you up and running

i used mint for a few years, it's pretty good and if something works on ubuntu 99% of the time it works on mint too which is handy for tech support
i used manjaro for 3 days before i switched to endeavourOS (another arch based distro) after very strong recommendations to ditch it from a very large number of people lol

dunno if i'm allowed to link here, but they all show up easy on google
i use:
rutracker, they have both a native linux section and a wine section
fitgirl repacks dot SITE (very important) usually work out of the box through lutris, just remember to change the default drive in the installer
and sometimes the jc141 releases on 1337x

carefully select hardware

lmao, i've exclusively run linux on franken pcs cobbled together out of mostly second hand parts
