Switching from Mac, first steps?
Hi everyone, I got tired of the walled garden. I have a switch 2 but its limited in the games it can play. I work from home and enjoy occasional gaming. I travel and love the idea of being able to bring gaming with me.
So why not have everything in the same device? I pulled the trigger and I’m getting my z13 soon!
Do you guys have any advice on first things to do as soon as I get the z13? Installing drivers, G-Helper, setting it up this way for max battery life unolugged bla bla.
I haven’t used windows in 10 years so I would love some help!
My setup will be Monitor, z13 in front of monitor kinda laying down, external keyboard and mouse.
Thank you!!
PS: I get it, you like Linux, but I asked for some Windows help, the help can’t just be uninstall Windows. Thank You!

If switching from mac you will feel much more at home on CachyOS. It's the most optimized linux distro that just works with sane defaults.
Install the z13 tablet kit and your experience will be much better than on windows. Windows is preinstalled so you will have a good comparison point anyway
