Some apps such as Photoshop and Microsoft Word and games like League of Legends and Roblox, don't work on Linux.

To get started, I recommend that you pick Debian-based options, because they are the most widely used, have better support, and are overall more stable. You will find more documentation and help online with these, too.

The choice you make doesn't really matter that much, since you can easily switch between them if you happen to not like one, or prefer the other. If you can, try both, and see which one you like the most. As a general rule, if you came from Windows, try KDE Plasma, and if you came from macOS, try GNOME first.

- **I can see my desktop, but text and icons look very small.** Go to settings and search for display scaling, then increase the slider until your desktop looks fine. This happens because you are using a 2K or 4K screen, which has more pixels than a regular screen. After applying your new scaling setting, reboot.
