  • I’m lucky all the apps I use worked on linux when I swapped over, native or otherwise (through wine).

    Sounds like if you fully migrated over, you’d have to give up quite a lot of software and relearn different tools, which is probably close to impossible (given the ones you listed).

    Hope the Windows 11 transition is at least a smooth one for you!


  • They don’t have to, I was simply providing a solution to a problem they don’t have.

    If they want to, but can’t because of they decade old configurations, this solution could ease the process or allow them to figure out if it’s even a possibility.

    Basically just letting them know they can try it without destructing their existing Windows setup.



  • Slowly switching may be an option for you. You could always dual boot a Linux distro alongside your current Windows install.

    Then once you have Linux running with all your apps, etc, you can see what you’re missing from your Windows install and if you can move stuff over, etc.

    You could even try it in a VM, see if you can set it up in a VM to how you like first before doing the whole install, may or may not be a bit easier (easier in the sense that you can directly compare whatever you do on Windows with the Linux install in a vm).
