<h1>Recommended OSes</h1>
<p>
There are countless choices when it comes to alternatives to Windows. Here are my personal
recommendations to help you avoid decision paralysis if you decide to do it yourself.
</p>
<h2>Beginner Friendly</h2>
<p>
I believe these make the most sense for anyone looking for a general purpose OS.
Beginner friendly distros should have a simple app store and actively encourage users to keep the system
up-to-date.
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.linuxmint.com/">Linux Mint, Cinnamon Edition</a></li>
<li><a href="https://manjaro.org/">Manjaro with KDE Plasma</a></li>
<li><a href="https://chromeos.google/products/chromeos-flex/">ChromeOS Flex</a></li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2>Advanced Users</h2>
<p>These are my picks for those who aren't afraid of using or learning the command line.</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://fedoraproject.org/">Fedora Linux</a></li>
<li><a href="https://endeavouros.com/">EndeavourOS</a></li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2>Gaming Focused</h2>
<p>
Before migrating from Windows to Linux, please consult <a href="https://www.protondb.com/">ProtonDB</a> to verify
the games you want to play run in Linux. If you play competitive games that utilize anti-cheat,
<a href="https://areweanticheatyet.com/">Are We Anti-Cheat Yet?</a> is also a handy resource. Compatibilty is quite
strong these days, but since it's not 100% it's better to know ahead than to be blindsided when your favorite games
won't start up.
</p>
<p>
For gaming-focused PC's, of course most general purpose distros will do. However, there are a couple
options worth your consideration.
</p>
<p>
If you want an experience similar to SteamOS on the Steam Deck, Bazzite has you covered.
</p>
<p>
CachyOS is a distro based on Arch that specializes in optimizing for speed.
</p>
