  It will be difficult, but technically possible. You’d have to ensure bitlocker is disabled on your windows drive. If you’re not sure what that is, don’t assume that means it’s not enabled. Windows does enable it by default in some cases. It encrypts your drive and you won’t be able to access it.

  But in all honesty, I’d recommend just starting from scratch if steam games are what you’re most worried about. First, some of them might not work on Linux. Second, you may encounter strange issues that require redownloading much of your library anyway. Lastly, you’ll want to transfer them to a drive with a Linux file system which will take time. That’s if you even have the drive space to spare. More likely is you’ll be formatting that drive anyway to a Linux filesystem, wiping the contents anyway.

  Even with slow internet, redownloading games as needed will be way easier and likely faster.

  If you’re unsure what distro to go with, I recommend going with Bazzite. It’s a distro optimized for gaming and is an atomic distro. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it, just know that for most casual users, an atomic distro makes way more sense and is much less likely to break. Additionally, if you have nvidia hardware, the drivers come pre installed so it’ll work right out of the box.

  Who is “they” and why do they have “all bats”? Also, what’s an all bat?

  On a more serious note, I didn’t know most bird species were bats. That’s wild.

  Hey, not all of us! Physics was humbling in my experience. Had the exact opposite effect.

  I did exceptionally well at a top physics university, and still felt stupid all the time.

  It took getting my ass handed to me to wipe that veneer off my perceived awesomeness and realized I’m doing this cause I love it. Why would I think down on anyone else doing what they do cause they love it?

  And I sure as hell came to realize that there’s people better at biology than I am at physics.

  That said, lots of physics people are high on their own supply. So, not discounting the reality of physics dickheads that are in abundant supply.

  My heart started beating a tad harder reading this. Not even joking. I graduated with my physics degree 6 years ago…
