I've been really happy with Bazzite on my laptop the last few months, although I seldom game these days.
My wife's Windows laptop stopped working recently and I haven't been able to repair it, so she's been gaming on my laptop in the meantime. So far it's been able to play everything she's thrown at it without issue.
I'm sad that I haven't been able to fix her laptop, but I'm kinda happy cause it means there's no longer any Windows machines in the entire house, lol.
Depends on the root cause of the BSoD. If it's a hardware issue, then no, installing Linux won't fix an underlying hardware issue. What does the BSoD screen actually say? Any specific error code?
Yep, you could do that, but you'll need a functioning PC to create a USB installer for the Linux OS of your choice. You'll need a blank USB drive and some software to "flash" the Linux OS installer to the USB drive. e.g.: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/burn.html
