  • Just because anything is popular or widely used it doesn’t mean it is good or correct. Driving drunk with no seatbelt and with your underage children in the seat upfront was legal. Much like vaccines and seatbealts designs are free (as in open) because they were too good to be sold and would be unethical to do otherwise.

    So if you think a computer is a simple machine and want to treat it as a screwdriver go ahead, most users are not smart to use computers anyway. Because of that most people do not even read what they are installing much less the messages they appear and then they ask why they get viruses or why their system does not work.


  • If you want something preinstalled then I would recommend something from system76 or Framework if you are in the US. And unless you are using the full MS Office suite with email heavily you can do all that with Libreoffice or OnlyOffice(On Archlinux there are clients for things like MS teams and stuff, there should be on other distros too).

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad3 i3 iIntel processor and 8GB of RAM and play usually light indie games and it works fine with no excessive fan noise.

    There is Steam OS which is obviously tailored for gaming so I guess that would be exactly what you need.
