>Streaming No idea, I don't stream. I use Linux just to study it since I haven't gotten comfy with it yet. I wouldn't doubt there's something that'll let you stream on Twitch. >Game emulation WINE is pretty alright however you will get performance hits. It's much better to just virtualize a Windows machine and play your games there. At least in my case because then you can throw away the VM in case of anything and nobody will be the wiser. Plus you can probably find a way to keep all your games that way when you fire up a VM you won't need to redownload your games. >Daily tasks Fuckin A. Linux is good for tasks. It's not as resource hungry as Windows nor does it have as many bg processes. >All in all of you wanna take a week or two now that quarantine is in full swing to learn it feel free to boot up a live USB of it and just try it out before making the switch.

I'm still here, ik it's an old meme just cropped it cause I'm on my phone. I'll take any advice.

>I'll take any advice. Don't be a dumb faggot who believes everything he's being told. Especially on fucking Yas Forums. Download VirtualBox (free), install any fucking Linux-based OS in it (free) and spend some time playing with it (costs you hours out of your life but you're wasting it here already anyway). If it breaks then it breaks and you install it again and learn something new. Fuck around until you are confident enough to install it on a spare PC as a host OS. If it breaks then nothing of value was lost (you did remember to rsync everything valuable, right?). You'll know what to do past that point.
Carter Cox
Thank you user. Should I run a virtual emulation of Linux to practice?
Cooper Johnson
I didn't think I get as many responses. Thought the thread would die off. I'll give it a try.

>game emulation stay with wangblows for gaming >running games same as above >daily task depends on the kind of tasks, if you need office, stay with windows but if you're into coding stuff linux is fine >streaming no, don't do that >streaming
Lincoln Brown
By streaming, I mean watching videos. I assume it will be fine since it can run video games.
Gabriel Kelly
Like I said man. >It's as easy as downloading Balena etcher and a Linux ISO >Using Balena Etcher to make a bootable Linux USB >Usual BIOS boot order change >Instead of "install OS" >There's a "try this OS" option. Select that and just mess with it. Then once you turn your computer off and set your boot order back to the way it was, it'll just boot back into windows. Pretty risk-free way of just trying Linux. You don't even need a virtual machine like another user said above.

>By streaming, I mean watching videos. Lol, there are web browsers, yes. Also you can just download the video itself and play it in a media player. What decade are you from? QuickTime mov and its brethren has gone the way of dinosaurs like 10 years ago at least. Multimedia standards are the same across pretty much all major platforms with some dying out exceptions.
Parker Price
Dude, like Netflix, YouTube and all that spaz shit. I actually forgot QuickTime existed. I'm a millennial. Know some code basics. Html a bit of Java and that's basically it. Like I said I'm not Linux savvy. Always wanted to try. Never did. I'll try now.
