+1 for this. Asahi Linux is the only viable choice for M1 macs right now, and it is not feature complete yet, but they are making a lot of progress. KDE can be configured to be very macOS like, so if you enjoy the mac look and feel you can still have that on linux.

If you do decide to use Asahi you can use Box64 to run some x86_64 programs on it. I have used it on my raspberry pi which uses a ARM processor. Be aware that since it is emulating a x86 system there will be a performance hit. It also seems like there is a way to tie in box64 with steam proton, but it is still experiemental

I have some complications for you. So your specific cpu (at least according to intel's spec sheet) can be overclocked to 3.2 GHz although I would double check by running the following if/when you do try linux: lscpu |egrep "Model name|MHz"

If you do decide to overclock it I would highly recommend installing a cpu handler so you dont have to worry about overheating. Also the hotter your cpu is the worse its performance is going to be so be aware of that as well.

As others have said, Linux can't make your cpu faster but it is generally more efficient about background tasks compared to windows. So it wont be faster for a single process but since there will be less ~~proprietary spyware~~ background processes it should be slightly faster overall. Additionally adding more ram (bumping it up to 16) would help a lot as modern applications are extremely ram hungry nowadays ~~due to lazy and/or overworked programmers who don't pay attention to performance~~ for unknown reasons. But 8gb is generally fine for most use cases.

For gaming emulation on linux I would recommend retroarch.

The best way I have found to move to linux is try in a VM --> try out the live environment --> install so you can dual boot --> delete windows partition. Also dont be afraid to move back to windows if it doesnt work out for you. Linux is probably the best its ever been but it might not be ready for every user yet (but also I can say that in the near future it undoubtedly will).

There are some distros that target older hardware like antiX (which I have tried out in the past and it is quite good), but dont worry too much about one distro over the other, they are pretty much the same. I would recommend trying out more popular ones like linux mint or debian just because there will be more support for them over other ones. Using a desktop environment that uses less resources should help as well, usually people will point to xfce and lxde. There are a lot of linux users here and on other lemmy instances so if you do need help there should be plenty of people to answer questions.

Penguins are notoriously trustworthy, you should do what it says

The monster mash is such a wild song, like the song itself isn’t the monster mash it’s a song about the monster mash. It’s like “Tribute” by Tenacious D

If you use the 3 dot menu on the home screen there is a menu option called “Not Interested” or “Don’t recommend channel”. It will also give an option for “why” you don’t like that content. That has helped a lot for me.

I have heard good things about kdenlive. Don’t do what I do and do everything in blender

Here’s a big list of open source or source available games: https://osgameclones.com/

I have a very specific gripe about chromium based browsers and it’s that they don’t follow the ECMAScript spec well. For example in Chrome if you create a JavaScript class and scope some fields as private, if you try to access them chrome will just let you. On Firefox and Safari they will block access which is the correct behavior
