SSD crapped itself finally, so good excuse as any to do the switch.
Linux Mint? Is that recommended? Is this the one "you wish you started with"?
I have some files on my HDD, I would rather not lose any of them, can they still run on Linux?
Gaming. Any suggestions on running Steam and such?
I don't want "if this doesn't work out, I can stick with Windows." Fuck, I'm sick of Windows, when/where do you learn to love Linux?
Thanks for your help.
Edit: Holy shit you guys respond fast. Thank you, you all deserve a beer. I won't know everything at the start, I was only hoping for some training wheels (tutorial vids) on how to do the basics.
I lied a bit, I still have an old gaming laptop (where I'm posting now). It runs Minecraft on medium (and I still love her). I'm already transferring files to it just in case.
