Hi. I’ve been thinking about trying out Linux for a while now (haven’t used it before). I have 1 PC which I share with my son. I mainly use it to browse the web, listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, Office for work, etc. things like that. Those things have good substitutes from what I’ve read, so not an issue. But my son plays video games like The Sims, Cities Skylines, Stardew Valley, Roblox, Minecraft, Stellaris, Slime Rancher… and from what I’ve seen it’s kind of difficult to game comfortably (stable) on Linux. As for the distro I was considering Ubuntu. Currently on Windows 10 Home. Looking forward to what you guys have to say. All advice welcome. Thanks.

    ONLYOFFICE is fully compatible with doc and docx files. It’s what I installed on my mom’s computer. She is having an easy time using it. Clients mostly work with doc and docx files, so having an Office Suite that is not fully compatible with those files (like LibreOffice) is a problem. To download ONLYOFFICE you have to search for ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors. Sorry about the Caps, but the official name of the program is in all Caps.
