What’s your main concern?

And allow me to add: the Penguin deals better and better with gaming, nowadays. Consider that as well.

Are you looking for a distro?

speck OP ,

Yes, initially thoughts on a distro. As well as addressing a concern I encountered about additional steps that are perhaps necessary with an NVIDIA card (that it doesn't mix as easily with Linux, I think). And, of course, whatever else I should know straight out the gate — although I assume a lot would be covered in the process of installing a distro.

I've definitely noted the development of gaming with Linux. Dual boot was just to have one less element in the mix, as I adjust to Linux (I've MacOs for a while now). TBH, there's a bit of an irrational element, too: I got a PC so I can play a bunch of games that aren't on Macs. So if I'm going to find a workaround in Linux, well, why didn't/don't I do that with a Mac, instead?

You'll just need to check how to install the proprietary NVIDIA drivers on your distro. For most that won't be a problem. Just a quick google search, haven't tried this myself:
