I'm backing up my windows device today and plan on installing a Linux distro. My primary use for this PC is gaming, though I do complete some banking and other tasks I find cumbersome on my phone.

My technical skill level is "knows enough to get into the shit, but not enough to get out." I did use Ubuntu exclusively for a period of about 3-5 years over a decade ago.

One con I've found regarding this OS is that it has "no browser in Live environment," but I have no idea what that means.

If anyone has experience with this OS or good tips/recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I've decided to run a few common distros from USB to see which I like better after the advice here. I think I was overcomplicating things.

Yeah the best way to choose a distro is to just try them and see which one works. Every now and then I forget that and I start distrohopping. I always go back to mint because simply nothing else works well enough on my HW.
