Hello software-savvy Hexbears, I am a person who knows basically nothing about Linux and I’m looking to switch over. I have an M1 macbook (I know, very bourgeois) and I’m not looking to get new hardware. Which Linux distribution should I choose, and what’s the best way to migrate my data over without data loss?

I’m also looking to pirate games once I switch to Linux, so a distribution good for g@ming is preferred.

Everybody is saying asahi, and it’s absolutely the most polished Linux running on apple silicon.

I would recommend you not switch to it though.

Unless you have a really good reason, it’s gonna be a tough climb to go from not knowing much about computers to using a very niche and unique distribution of Linux with limited support.

What problem are you trying to solve by switching?
