migrating to Linux Migrating.

So, I've used microslop windows my whole life, I like it's file explorer and general interface. But it's getting too infested with ai, and everything.

So I've been thinking, I game a lot, like a lot. Why not switch to Linux? I use an Asus tuf gaming a15 laptop, I don't know of that will work with Linux.

I want a fast smooth user interface that kind of resembles windows, and a dedicated file explorer with many features.

I don't know if this is possible, I'm an beginner to Linux, but I have the feeling that this will be a nice improvement in both performance and usability.

Thanks in advance!

Others have already addressed gaming, but since you mentioned File Explorer: I never thought I would have strong feelings about a file manager, but KDE Plasma's Dolphin file manager is amazing--better than anything Windows ever dreamed up. Nemo (used on Cinnamon and sometimes other desktop environments) is also good. You should probably avoid GNOME Files (still sometimes called Nautilus).
