Hi everyone, I’m planning on moving from w11 to kubuntu (lts release - 24.04). I’m a gamer at heart, a game designer by education, and wanting to get away from Windows. I could really use some top tips, best practices, and things to look out for. I have run Linux on a Chromebook, but never as my primary PC.
I’m preparing by copying tax info, critical documents, game prototypes, and D&D documents to a USB.
Then run Linus from a different USB on restart?
Thank you for your help, and any references to specific how-to’s 😅.
Side note: If part of your prep for an OS wipe involves making copies of critical information, I recommend re-evaluating your backup strategy. You should be able to lose any device at any time without warning, and not lose any data.
Yes, this. I can’t describe the depression I had when I lost everything twenty-plus years ago. And we have far more to lose today. “One is none and two is one.”
