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 😅.

    try not to get yourself in decision paralysis, if you mess something up it’ll be pretty easy to redo it anyway because you’ve learnt how to do it already

      Unless you are actually using your PC. Setting up everything involves much more than just installing the OS. If I want to get all my apps working and my data transferred to where it needs to go, and all my peripherals and stuff running, it takes me a day or two.

      That’s why I’m still stuck on a distro with more issues than things going for it.
