Is it really this easy? I want to side load linux onto my desktop so i can start transitioning over (especially because i have an ancient laser printer with linux drivers in the box, that windows 10 wont support!)
I basically only use foobar, firefox, and gimp as it is
yeah it’s that easy, install Ubuntu, ignore anyone who says this is not good and you have to install something else, it’s bad yes but it’s bad in Linux standards still much better than windows
I had Mint up and running within an hour of deciding I was going to do so. Nvidia drivers gave me a bit of trouble but I had those solved in another hour. It really is that easy.
I don’t know what’s the easiest way to do it because my installations are all kind of custom, but I’d say make some free space (50 GB probably to start with) from within Windows and then tell the Linux installer to use the free space in the disk and that’s basically it. If those are your programs you are ideal to be running Linux, though, you may want to try actual Linux music players.

It depends on your technical knowledge and the distro you choose. But I would say it’s that easy
