I think it's reasonable to be concerend about Linux security. I do acknowledge that Windows just had more time to be tried and tested with malware and user error to have more safeguards, but I'm hopeful that Linux will get more secure while enduring less struggles than Windows as it gets popular.

My general recommendation if you do decide to go with Linux is to keep your OS up to date, verify the apps you use (do you trust the devs, the distribution method, etc.) and use common sense (not every command you copy from the internet needs sudo, etc.).

If you're really curious on how you can make Linux more secure, check out the security-oriented distributions section at privacyguides.org.

I've recently started using secureblue myself and it's been a bit of an eye-opener on how secure you can make Linux and how much is still needed to be done.

Game is Hi-Fi Rush, that pose is from the second level intro.

This page says it works, but it also might be a pain to setup.

Usually is limited by headset/controllers support. Take a look at Linux VR Adventures Wiki for compatibility.

It might be worth also teaching your friend how to:

  • install games via Lutris (if they downloaded the Sims while sailing the high seas)
  • to change Proton/Wine versions (for compatibility, if they play older titles)
  • how to install libraries through Winetricks/Protontricks (again for older titles requiring abandoned libraries like playing .wmv files in-game)
  • how to mod the Sims and how to run .exe tools inaide Wine/Proton prefixes (such as Anadius' tool for Sims 4)
