I’m guessing yes, that you have to make a back up of all your files etc. But I figured I’d ask anyway, just in case.
To anyone who’s done it, how do you prepare when you change distro?

“all your shit is in /home/$YourUsername/” is pretty universal in linuxes.
Good to know!
I am learning! (slowly)
I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised by how intuitive my experience has been so far. It’s still a learning curve, but it’s not nearly as convoluted as I thought it would be either.
This is what linux enjoyers are constantly trying to tell people, that it is different but it’s actually more straightforward than windows once you get past your existing familiarity.
It’s so much better than Windows, I don’t see myself going back, even though Windows is what I grew up on.
The only thing that’s going to suck is that I’m worried not having experience with Windows 11 is going to embarrass me one day haha.
Don’t let users of inferior OSes embarrass you, embarrass them instead
“You still use that garbage? But doesn’t it break every week (I suspect Arch is now more stable than Windows 11…) and spy on you?”

“Updates never Uninstalled my Calculator app”
Yeah, I find myself confused and infuriated when I have to deal with a modern Windows machine. It takes so long to figure out how to do simple things or change a setting. And then you look it up and all the documentation and forums online are useless.

I’m at the point where if a job requires me to be able to troubleshoot windows then i skip applying for it. I refuse to work with that piece of shit any longer.
The pattern I have had is to keep my home directory on a separate hard drive so.I can hop and all my stuff (and configurations!) Stay constant across distros. The config side can cause some grief, depending on what you have set up, but the rest is 100% worth it
You have come so far and we’re all really proud of you
I only posted that comment to tease you because I’m a recalcitrant little shithead and you said not to suggest Linux (plus I think it’s funny speaking as if Linux is the plural of Linuc) but look at you now!
I can’t even remember what I posted, so you’re good!
From memory you were sick to death of Windows (relatable) and you were sorta on the fence about what to do but you explicitly said not to tell you to switch to Linux and, as the classic supportive community that is Hexbear, everyone in the replies was bullying you to switch to Linux.
That’s kind of what I like about you guys though. I do need to be pushed sometimes.
