I tried switching to linux like 10 years ago, but then, all the games i played didn’t work. I tried switching again a month ago, but my cpu (i honestly don’t remember) wasn’t compatible. I watched youtube videos for a workaround, and that was way above my paygrade, because i’m worried i’m gonna skullfuck my computer by changing random ini files because a youtuber said so. I tried it on the laptop and i kinda just didn’t work either for a diffrent reason. I don’t care as much about my laptop, so i’ll try again.
As much as i hate windows, and i really really do, you hit a button and it’s installed.
You sound like the exact person this meme is about… Having installed both windows and Linux each several times in the last 5 years, the process has been significantly easier for Linux every time.
it matters. different distros will have different versions of everything, and whatever compatibility problem you had with your CPU (or maybe GPU, since that’s more common and you seem to not remember much about it) might not exist in a different version of the kernel or something similar.

If it’s gotten easier in the past week, i’m trying again. But i appreciate the downvotes for trying to swith but not being able to.
Yeah definitely not the cpu, maybe the gpu if it was Nvidia and you weren’t on a distro that handles packing the Nvidia proprietary driver
I’m trying to find the error message i got, but i’m 99% sure it’s an intel problem. I mean i’m not sure at all, that’s what the internet told me.
what’s your CPU and GPU? it might help knowing that
what distro(s) did you try?
From what i gathered it doesn’t matter what distro is it, it’s just not compatible.
