Yup, just download a gaming oriented distro and you´re fine (PoPOS [ubuntu] or Bazzite [fedora] if you like more gamey feeling)

Or mossad

Most are just kind persons or just attention seeking. As soon as they see any engagement, they´ll lose interest and leave.

PopOS/Cosmis has native Nvidia support, works perfectly out of the box

This was an issue that appeared when writing heavy files to disks (50gb+), so people that werent doing it were safe. And don’t worry, its a matter of when LOL. I was a windows “virgin” until one day my system drive appeared encrypted and locked by bitlocker when I never activated it, nor had any recovery key.
