I’m considering installing Linux on my laptop but I’m unsure if I should start with a virtual machine first. My main use cases are gaming and coding, so I want to make sure it’s the right fit.
What are the pros and cons of using Linux for someone like me? Would starting with VirtualBox be a good idea before going all in?
To be clear, the vast majority of “games with anti-cheat” work perfectly well on Linux. It’s just the ones where developers have chosen to either explicitly block Linux (e.g. Fortnite) or to use invasive rootkit anti-cheat (e.g. Riot games, FACEIT, etc.) which wouldn’t be allowed to work on Linux anyway because it’s a really stupid idea to let random gaming companies have access to your ring 0.
