    1. Disable secureboot so you don’t have to run a few commands and restart in order to sign keys
    2. Ensure your drives are formatted to a linux format to reduce headaches with steam libraries
    3. if the command starts with “sudo(superuser Do)” it’s time to read up on what each part of the command does exactly.
    4. Linux wants you to mount and unmount your drives(filesystems) manually. Plugging them in won’t instantly allow data transfer.
    5. Don’t be surprised that almost any linux is a perfectly functional OS with fantastic UX and less day to day hassle and management compared to windows.

      1. everything is changeable. But not everything should be changed.
      2. There will come a time when you need to interact with the command line. This is expected, and no you did not do something wrong.
      3. Have fun.

      Oh if your looking for a distro? Mint is a great entry point (and even can support crusty old graybeards as well).
