Hey everyone. I noticed that quite a few of y'all have got some knowledge when it comes to Linux and other Open Source Software stuff from the other tech threads.
While I am not a complete newfag and I do have a few hours of experience with a few Debian based distros like Ubuntu and especially Mint, I am a complete when it comes to Arch and server distros. I also do have 2-3 hour experience with Anonymity distros like Tails and Whonix because of few CySec courses that I finished 2 years ago.
I know how to install apps and I know some basic commands when it comes to the Command Line/Terminal, but all those shell scrips and DE modifications & all those libraries etc. that I have heard from people, I haven't got a smallest clue what to do or even how to do. I also am a retard when it comes to WINE, since I haven't the slightest idea how to use it to make Windows apps work on Linux. But the funny thing is I tried PlayOnLinux and with that I actually managed to get some stuff working like Microsoft Office 2010 and STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl.
The thing is, since good Windows OSes like XP and 7 are not supported anymore and Microshaft are pushing this flaming pile of shit called Windows 10, I've decided to jump ship and try to go on Linux on my next PC, but also I don't wanna be barred from all those apps that I am using on Windows right now. I did think about using Windows VMs but I am skeptical about that. I am not really sure if it's possible to make a Windows VM and then on that VM be able to have a stable gaming experience.
Anyone got any tips or some useful guides/links?
