I’m not a computer expert or planning to be. I’m just a computer user, a coder, a gamer, and I think I will get the opportunity to afford cheaper PCs if I use the Arch distro from Linux which is very lightweight and fast. I’ve heard Microsoft forces you to bloat your PC with win11.
If you can search the internet good and can read the arch wiki you’ll be fine. If you’ve been playing on computers and maybe modding some games you’ll also be fine. The command line is only scary cause we are used to visuals.
