Okay mastodon - I've heard you're an expert in this. I have a desktop computer that I built a couple of years ago that's been running Windows 10.

I'd love to make the switch to Linux - I used a version of Ubuntu throughout Uni and have played around on remote Linux servers since, but haven't used it as my main system for 10 years (and I still have to use Windows 11 on my work laptop).

All I really use my computer for is gaming, discord, programming and video editing. I've backed up my files and Steam saves.

My questions:

• Is it worth dual booting or can I get away with getting rid of Windows for good nowadays?

• I'm currently looking at Pop!_OS, anything I should look out for?

You're getting lots of other good suggestions here. Your mileage is going to vary of course. I use Linux mint Debian edition exclusively these days.

I have a desktop that I do boot into windows, and a laptop that I have exclusively set aside for windows. Because there are times when I need it

Like for updating my GPS unit...

If you can afford a nice SSD drive, pull that Windows drive out and put Linux on the other one.

🤷‍♂️
