My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it.

My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff.

I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs?

Thanks!

    you should be fine. gaming is dead simple with steam + proton

    if you wanna torrent games, it’ll be a bit more involved but still doable

    the AI stuff should work just fine, you just wanna make sure you go for a distro with good hardware support
