Basically title. I saw a few reddit threads with this piece but wanted to see if anyone out here had any experience with trying to get Linux set up on this machine.

I'd want to use it for gaming on steam, GOG and emulators. and other stuff like that.

I'm planning on installing on a secondary m.2 drive, and can keep windows for emergencies

Thanks for looking!

Edit:

I've gotten Linux (mxlinix) working on a single ancient HP core 2 duo laptop that seemed to work pretty well considering the machine it was on

Baseline experience with CLI and if copy paste works on the system I can plow through most things.

It should do the job just fine. I have the TUF from 2023 and it took a while for the keyboard drivers to reach the kernel, but yours should be there on any recent distro.
