idk how this works. Which variant is right for me and how do I make it be on my computer?

Update: I have a GeForce graphics card. Is it worth dealing with “some trouble” to have a computer without copilot?

Update: I think I have it working, thanks everyone!

    No one can tell you the answer to the first part of the question you asked but it doesn’t matter because the solution is to just try different shit till you stop.

    The installation process is 1. Back up all the stuff you don’t want to lose 2. Download an iso and write it to a usb 3. Boot the usb and play a dating sim with a computer to see what ending you get.

    When you switch computer operating systems you’ll have a bunch of problems and questions which are all related directly to how you use the computer. Only you can realize to what extent and in what way you’ve abstracted or personified your experience of using the computer. Only you can decide if you want to stand astride the tracks of history and say “no further”, retvrn to your people’s traditional ways of knowing or eliminate all your cerebral folds and embrace one giant electron native touchscreen button simply marked “dopamine”.

        Hell yeah, just try some shit.

        What’s the best computer experience you remember having? Mine is writing BASIC programs on an old tandy as a little kid.

          Part of the reason I’m asking for advice is because I’m not really tech-minded lol. I took a night class about basic computer hardware in high school and a single basic programming course in college that I muddled my way through somehow. I think the most I’ve actually done is tweak mods for paradox games.

            You’re plenty tech minded. Probably just pick Debian or fedora and have fun till it starts pissing you off.

            You need to use a computer to make a bootable usb drive you can use to install linux.

            What usb are you gonna use, what computer will you use to make it into a linux install drive?
