I've played with Linux before and finally had enough with Windows. I'm a seasoned programmer but mainly concerned with gaming for this computer, except that I want to be able to run Unreal Engine 5 and potentially other big tools like that. TIA 💓

when I was in uni like 5 years ago I put arch on the school provided laptop. Not saying to use arch but iirc I had to compile ue4 for Linux because a pre compiled binary wasn’t available. It had issues compared to windows.
