I'm glad that you want to switch to Linux, but I think there'd be open source solutions for Windows too. I daily drive Linux, and I would begin with looking for open source timers if I ever need timers. Why not do the same in Windows too?

Here are a few: https://alternativeto.net/software/free-countdown-timer/?platform=windows&license=opensource

Try launching the program from a terminal, and see if there are any GPU specific log messages. May be also have a look via journalctl.

Also nvtop and nvitop gives you a GPU monitor.

You can, but I recommend btop. It's much more cooler.

For a person with not much familiarity with Linux, and just wants to check things out, I would recommend starting out with a VM. WSL is good, but that is not the "Linux experience". Moreover, if they are not already familiar with the command line, it may be a bit intimidating. The same goes for dual booting. It's more technical, and it's more appealing to just jump back into Windows when things go wrong on Linux. VM approach though, gives you a sandboxed space (with DEs and all) where you can smoothly get familiar and comfortable with Linux before making the final switch. That's my personal opinion for beginners.

I don't use Proton Drive too much, but for my use case, it works great. I sometimes save files in there and share them via urls, and it works great for that use case.

The last time I used Bitwarden, the base plan did not support 2FA which is a must for me. Keepass keeps it local, and supports 2FA too. These days, I use Proton Pass more because I want easier sync across my devices, but I back up everything to Keepass every once in a while.

Here are the ones I use:

  • YouTube:

This is the hardest and you might need to hop a lot. But, these are the ones I have: FreeTube, Grayjay, LibreTube, NewPipe, PipePipe, and if none of these work, then YTDLnis (yt-dlp client)

  • Mail:

ProtonMail (Tuta is heavily suggested too, but I personally have never used it)

  • Cloud Storage:

Proton Drive (although I don't use cloud storage much)

  • Gallery:

Stock and AvesLibre (I heard Immich is good too, but I cannot afford self hosting atm)

  • Video Player

VLC

  • Audio Player

VLC

  • 2FA

Proton Pass and KeepassXC

  • Mail App

ProtonMail and K9Mail

  • Password Manager

Proton Pass and KeepassXC

  • Weather app

ProtonVPN has "Stream films, sports events, and videos on any streaming service (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iplayer etc)" in its description.

Torrhunt and Orion Torrent Client, both have the tag "netflix torrent".
