I have two friends who helped me switch from Win10 to Debian. A lot of things were rocky, and I’m not going to sugarcoat that. Linux is still a niche system with a high barrier of entry. That said, now I got it to a point where I’m happy with what I got. I could always do more stuff if I wanted too, but I am content with what I have.

My programs and games for Windows run with Wine Staging and I don’t need any launchers to manage them. I’m even more comfortable messing with the terminal.

Basically Linux is like a Bethesda game. You need to download mods and mess with them a bit to be happy with your system.

I have a GOG library specifically because it’s not tied to a stupid Valve Epic Games Uplay Launcher. This is their competitive edge. Plus, all of what you mentioned can be done with GOG through any semi-modern web browser.

I guess since GOG doesn’t have an official launcher, we will be like, very totally unable to create and use wine prefixes. No siree.

You don’t need Galaxy. Use Heroic or better yet, don’t use any launchers. GOG games are DRM-free.

An online friend of mine recommended it to me as the one distro I should be on. I agree. We’re both under 30 and my friend is younger than I am.

If it works, it works.

Debian.
