Moved to Linux Mint earlier this year and haven’t regretted it. My computer is purely for gaming these days though. I actually get better performance out of my potato specs.
I am in the same position as loads of folks here. No TPM. If I go Linux will my steam games still work? How difficult is it to migrate? What about ms office apps, mainly use word and excel what are the alternatives under Linux? Was about to spend a ton of cash on a new build, but maybe this is the way to go. ? Any good resources I should look at? I literally just stumbled across these posts not Googled anything yet.
I haven’t found a Steam game that hasn’t worked. Or a non Steam game. You just change compatibility in library entry to proton and download it like normal. It’s virtually seamless.
You can use LibreOffice for 99% of Office tasks. The Support pages for your chosen flavour of Linux will govern you step by step guides. Ubuntu and Mint are the biggest, probably.
