If you just want to browse the web and edit work documents you have nothing to fear.

If you just want a game and don't want to be too awfully picky about what you're playing you have nothing to fear

If you want to play anti-cheap games and host docker components you're going to have to do a little console here and there.

If you want to stream to YouTube and twitch, You're probably not going to have as much of a good time. You can still do it but there's work and compromises involved.

Streaming is practically plug-and-play, at least on my installs.

OBS background removal in Linux is bad.

In about half a dozen distros VFL does not work out of the box for OBS.

If you flat pack your OBS and don't do it exactly right with all the plugins at once, the plugin sandbox causes issues in OBS.

If you're running an OBS bot camera things get extra spicy.

In most cases high color support is not allowed.

If you're trying to do stream Deck stuff that can be an issue.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad it wasn't a big deal for you but for your average person coming in complaining that terminals are too much, they might be in for a less than stellar experience.

Cheers, I'll give it a go. Unfortunately I'll have to navigate my way through the Denuvo BS that Capcom loves shoving down our throats.

On the plus side I've been using the libreoffice suite and frankly speaking it's more or less comparable to what Windows offers for my needs. Their excel equivalent feels really jank though.
