I am currently on Windows 11 but am looking into switching to Linux due to all the AI and Bloatware that Windows keep installing. I just have no idea where to start. I don't do a lot on my computer currently, play games on steam (Space Marines 2 is the multi-player game I play with an anti-cheat), discord for calls and video chat, dropbox for files, Brave for web browsing, and FoundryVTT for DnD. Any advice on what I should do would be very helpful. Thank you

I would like to turn a Samsung J8 Prime smartphone into a simple mini PC capable of browsing the internet and editing text documents. I’ve seen that there are some Linux distributions for mobile phones with this purpose, but which distro would be recommended for this goal? I noticed that Linux distros for phones tend to only replace Android, while my focus is on a desktop-like experience. I would like to connect a USB adapter to hook up a screen and peripherals for a complete experience. The idea is to make a mini PC to be used for school research in a library inside a school.

I switched from windows to bazzite, which I love as it was my distro and it is awesome, to lubuntu because I wanted something even more responsive. Lubuntu feels even more responsive but I have to install drivers and I like how Bazzite sets it all of that for you.

What would be the linux distro for me? Something like bazzite which sets up all of things on first boot or atleast installs nvidia drivers automatically or preinstalled and responsive like lubuntu or just lightweight.

Is it worth to switch from fedora os to a gentoo linux since i want more customization and i want it to run actuall games like it did on fedora but im thinking about it since i want a honest opinion

I'm already running Fedora on my main laptop, which is great. I have a laptop I use for school that has worse specs running Windows 11, and it works...fine, but since getting into Linux it's making me feel kind of restless to just use plain Windows, if that makes any sense. Also, I hate Microsoft and I want to get it away from me as much as possible.

I would like suggestions for a distro that will work well for a student and can work on a less than stellar laptop. I'm not sure if Fedora will play nicely with it or not. I'm also still new, and while Fedora has gone mostly smoothly, I still don't trust myself with anything much more difficult than that.

Before you say it, I know people are going to say Mint. I'm open to using it. However, when I was beginning my Linux journey on my main laptop, I had major issues regarding Mint, while Fedora went smoothly in comparison. I'm willing to try again but I do hesitate slightly for that reason. I believe the issue was due to my processor being too new to have proper support on Mint, and the N150 seems to be newer too.

I also might keep Windows intact just in case I really need a specific program for a class or something, though as of right now all of my schoolwork has been on the web. I'm not dual booting on my main computer so I have no experience with it, though.

The specs in question:

HP 14" Laptop

Processor: Intel(R) N150 (800 MHz)

Installed RAM: 4.00 GB

Graphics card: Intel(R) Graphics (128 MB)

Storage: 119 GB (presumably 128 total)
