I was going to reply with an image of “meth mouth” but I threw up in my mouth just remembering those images.

“Fuck you!”
Great! I’ll get the lube, the waterproof sheets, and the rubber chicken.
“What?”
What?

His aesthetic doesn’t inspire thoughts of gay shit.

Ooof! You are absolutely right. Hopefully they use dedicated e-mail and contact information for their business.

Who the hell uses their real name and e-mail to open accounts in sites like PornHub?

EDIT: I enjoy porn and so does my wife. Neither one of us is shy about it, but neither of us would use our real info to open an account. Who the hell wants infinite floods of adult product email spam?

One last thing. Since you are completely new, are coming from a Windows background, and do more than just game, I’d suggest starting with Linux Mint (Cinnamon). You do not have to stick with that distribution forever, but it is probably the most painless introduction since it is Debian/Ubuntu based and most of the help/articles you’ll find on the Internet are focused on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint. Debian based distributions are more of a “set it and forget it” experience. Nice and boring.

Other major core distributions that are different from Debian/Ubuntu include Red Hat (Fedora), Arch, and OpenSuSe. Red Hat (Fedora) is a good choice for corporate users since Red Hat is the defacto Linux distribution for the corporate world. Arch is great if you REALLY want to learn Linux and truly get into tinkering with its guts. OpenSuSe is the European option and what some European governments are ditching Windows for.

FYI: You are already on Lemmy, the most Linux friendly place on the Internet. If you ever run into trouble, just ask around. People here will love to help you.

Will I be able to run Blender without issue?

The free and ooen source 3D creation software developed on Linux and primarily run on Linux? Yeah, you should be fine.

Can I run Steam/Steam games easily?

Absolutely. Games that have a problem running on linux are mostly contained to this with anti-cheat. You can verify your game’s compatibility with protondb.com.

Will Discord work?

Of course. Discord has a linux native client.

I find that live USB drives, like the Linux Mint installer are a fantastic way to show potential converts around. If they like it, all they had to do is click install.

You know what the true Step One is.

It certainly should be.

Step One: Install literally any other browser
Step Two: Make new browser the default
Step Three: Forget that Edge exists

Peace.

Yeah, the title of this post seems to make that fairly clear. Still annoying though.

Same, and I have done so since the mid-90’s. It’s muscle memory at this point.

A painful missed opportunity.
