Having trouble with New PC

[DiffydaDude]

I got a lot of things for Christmas this year, and there was one gift that my parents had hinted to me prior, and I kept wondering what it was going to be. I kinda got worried about it being a new PC, but i brushed it off because i didnt know what it would be. Turns out it was a PC. And that kinda made me freak out a bit because I wasnt comfortable with the idea of replacing my computer with a new PC, especially one with Windows 11, yuck. My brother got the same kind of setup, and while I thought it was cool and definitely saw that it was better than mine, I was still iffy about it all, because 1. I like my computer because its simple, compact, has the features i like in a PC, and fits on my desk well. 2. its that I dont know if i really need a beefy PC, because all the games I play run well on my PC already, including mostly indie games and stuff like GMod. 3. It feels like too big of a jump to make. I know i could just flash the PC with a linux distro but i havent even begun to decide which one i could use. Also, i just think the PC and monitor is too big.
what do yall think i should do?

ideally, i would try to find a way to donate the PC to charity - or sell it for a way cheaper price than usual so other folks that need the tech can use it. this is socially difficult because there's probably some sentiment your folks have towards having bought the PC /for/ you specifically. maybe have a chat with them to explain that you're happy with your current PC?

Use it for a month and then decide Your old ones not going anywhere and you may find that your needs grow into the new capabilities this one offers. If after a month you still know you like your old one more, then you will have no regrets and this one will be a great gift for someone who wants it; plus it should prove to your parents that you valued their gift and gave it a fair chance.

I did that, and they do understand. Im keeping the gaming chair they got me though because my current chair is very old and needs replacing. Thanks for the tips, maybe i can get them to send it to charity
