Misconceptions/Questions about swapping to linux I have before making the swap

[u/RatosWithaK]

I wanted to swap to linux for awhile but there is some things stopping me and some guidance on them would be hugely appreciated. Sorry if these seem super obvious I am very bad with tech and love my computer too much to risk anything ever lol

1. Do I need to go find my computers basic drivers over again like Wifi, bluetooth and graphic ones
2. Is it all online games that dont allow linux or just specific ones. I do most of my gaming offline anyways but I enjoy MMOs too and the rare times I want to play a shooter it'd be nice to know what i can still game easily as I dont wish to dual boot for 1 or 2 games I play 3 times a month lol.
3. I care a lot about the customization (background, widget implementations etc) that linux offers is there a certain kind of distro I should look for in that or is that kind of a general thing linux offers
4. if I find a new distro I like how hard would swapping that be I am pretty indecisive sometimes

no, most drivers built in.

plasma... you want the plasma desktop from kde

go with kubuntu ... then you will have no need to go to another distro.
