Chuwi has been around for a long time.
I don’t believe the word “trust” has ever been used to describe that company.


The LiMu Emu.
Those birds are fucking strong.


It’s also not worth my time or money to track down old, beat-up Chromebooks and put Linux on them, and yet here we are.
I’m weird, so the things I find fun are weird.


I look forward to thrifting one in a few years, then installing Linux on it.


It’s not regulation if they are hateful. It’s abuse.


Still?


Oh yeah, totally correct. But it bills itself as a “gaming distro.”


You’ve already gotten several good replies, and I’ll add a couple more details that might be related to your use case:
Bazzite is a “gaming distro” with built-in Steam integrations. It’s great if all you do on the machine is game and do gaming-related things, like streaming. It’s what I use on my dedicated gaming PC, under my TV. Things mostly Just Work, and I’ve only had to mess with configuration files when setting up things like wake-on-USB and my custom Network shares.
Gaming and streaming will work on basically any distro. And if you pick a distro based on Debian or Fedora, it should be stable and fairly easy to get used to.
Don’t wipe out Windows yet. Install Linux on a separate partition, or even better a separate drive. That way, you can switch off between them until you’re fully used to Linux. Let yourself transition over a few months. That way, if you struggle to do something in Linux, you can switch back over to Windows and get it done.
Some folks try to change all at once, then get frustrated if they hit a stumbling block. It’s safer to keep Windows as a backup, so you don’t feel trapped if something goes wrong.


I’m sorry your mother died :(


Your own post demonstrates that you are incorrect: someone upvoted it. Therefore, not everybody thinks the same.

It’s not that they aren’t as good, necessarily.
More that the others do less “grey-hat” stuff, and therefore are less likely to cause harm or alter the content they host.
No.
They think that relying on a hostile archive will ultimately harm Wikipedia.
They know the shortcomings of the other options.
Chrisjen starts as an anti-villain and, over time, morphs into an anti-hero.
It’s brilliant writing. I despise her. I love the character.
