Hello, apparently hanging out in Lemmy inadvertently makes you thinking about using Linux. I am planning to install Linux Mint cinnamon on an older laptop, which I want to bring to LAN Parties. From what I read I can just format my C:\ windows disk, install Linux via bootable drive and from what I understand, proton is basically included when installing steam after setting up my new Linux OS? Thanks for your comments:)
Great choice. Definitely Linux Mint.
Or you could try Zorin.
You could but it often updates much later than others, and is way too white everywhere
true. but it does have a Dark Mode.
