Afternoon all.

I'm looking to make the switch away from Windows, and I wondered if people had any advice, distro suggestions and so on.

My main use cases for my PC are Gaming, Writing and Image editing. Things I'd love to have working are all my games, Epic, Steam, GoG and Game pass. I already use OpenOffice so I'm probably fine with that. And I currently use Photoshop, so a good alternative for that would be good. Finally Spotify, Discord and VPNs etc

Any and all help and suggestions would be welcomed, thanks in advance.

Ubuntu installs snap version of Firefox by default which for me had issues accessing files on my home folder so downloading files was weird. After installing normal version from Mozilla everything worked fine until during an update Ubuntu would switch back to snap version without asking. If I wanted my OS to do things behind my back I would just use Windows.
