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?

    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.

        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.
