    Lots of people to the time to reply here and at kbin.

    It probably will not hurt to also ask on https://superuser.com/ https://stackexchange.com/ and Reddit linuxquestions or another appropriate subreddit. To me it seems like Discord is similar like IRC : questions will get snowed under after others write newer things and your reading audience is likely decreasing.

    And a question : What are your plans with Linux on your desktop ?

    • Gaming ?
    • Coding ?
    • Reading books and watching videos ?
    • Web surfing ?
    • Social media ?

    If you are interested in learning more Linux then a refurbished laptop is a good start to run Linux natively without a dual boot.

      Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not complaining at all, in contrary, I am enormous grateful for any help I get.
      I posted alread in reddit as well - subreddits r/Nobara, r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions
      Asus-Linux has a thready-like area in their discord „general-issues“, where I made the thread…

      At first it is to learn how everything behaves, test my use-cases to see, if linux could become an all-dayer for me - that would be the main goal - until then the dual-boot to have a fallback option.

        Cool. 👍

        In that case, VirtualBox and other emulators could be useful to look into. And WSL may be limited (I’ve read) but also useful. Never tried WSL but a friend of mine is happy with it.

          yeah, already played around with VirtualBox and WSL, but there are use-cases (e.g. in gaming) where just an emulation can’t really show what’s possible and what not, that’s why I would love to have the dualboot, so I can reliably test everything without any excuses like “runs probably bad because of emulation”
