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?
You should explain that to the few Steam games I have that work just fine on Mint, right out of the box.
It’s hit or miss and depends on the game, and OP didn’t really give us much detail. There’s just no absolutes is ultimately the lesson to learn, which is why a dual boot option might suit them best.
