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?
When I was studying computer science I had a dual-boot setup on my laptop. I was never happy with a VM but it’s not a lot of work to set up so you could try that first! With dual-boot I could still use Windows if I absolutely needed it for a course. I can recommend the Arch Linux wiki, it has many articles and tutorials. It’s only really useful if you are using Arch Linux or a distro based on Arch, e.g. EndeavourOS
