Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

If you know the games she plays, you could test installing them separately ahead of time, so that there would be minimal difference when that switchover happens.

It's mostly The Sims with mods along with whatever meme games she's hearing about on YouTube. There's no concern about rootkit anti-cheat or anything, and so far my experience has been almost anything on Steam will run in Linux without having to do anything. She'll run into performance issues with her current hardware before she hits any games that aren't compatible.
