    I mean I’m glad I don’t have an active mail client on my PC but honestly this shit might be what makes me switch to Linux for my gaming.

      What has stopped you so far?

      I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. I’m a long time exclusive Linux gamer.

        Seconday drives not being picked up in steam made me switch back to windows. Is that plug and play now?

          Not sure what problems you had. I am using a secondary drive for steam for years now on xubuntu. I think they even get re-added automatically now if you started steam before you mount the drive.

            I believe in both debian and Ubuntu you must mount an external drive to a folder on the main drive. This didn’t work my default and took a bunch of command line edits to work. Perhaps xubuntu fixes this or steam has improved.

              I don’t really understand your problem, but steam automatically recognized my external hard drive. In addition to that, it also recognizes my network attached drive and I can just load games from my nas.

                It might have to do with exfat drives. My drives were internal but I didn’t want to format my mass data drives. Maybe it was an issue with my hardware config. I don’t know. Either way it wasn’t working.

                  I might be misremembering, but I think there was a time when you had to install something for exact to be recognized by the system.

                  I think we are past having to do that now though.

        Not OP but do emulators work well on Linux? Controller support? Gog stuff?

        I put mxLinux on an old laptop to test it out and like it well enough, what’s the best distro/DE for minimal troubleshooting and tweaks needed?

          Yeah! Emulators work great! I almost only play emulators. Just about every popular emulator is also on Linux. There is nothing you will miss out on.

          My switch pro controller, and Xbox one controller, connect without any problems. Most controllers should work fine, but I can’t speak from experience.

          Just get Linux Mint. They have 4 versions, but the cinnamon version is their flagship. Its layout is decently similar to windows.

          Linux mint is often referred to as a beginner distro, but there is nothing you can’t do on it that another distro can do.

          I have had a few Linux servers for work and personal stuff, and I still use Linux mint.

          If you have any more questions please let me know. I’m happy to help.

          Emulators run great. RetroArch famously powers RetroPie, which is a Linux-based all-in-one emulation kiosk OS for Raspberry Pis (but retroarch runs great on x86 as well)

          Linux Mint and PopOS are two great entry-level distros that get our of your way and let you just use your computer (but you can do all the nerd stuff under the hood if you do choose, nothing locked down).

    Thunderbird has all of the functions of outlook and is not clouded by microsoft in any of the possible ways you can take that statement.
