Only beacuse there are a couple of softawares that I need that don’t run well in Bottles (Nitro Pro and an old app for anothere thing). It’s a laptop with CPU i7 and a NVIDIA graphic card 1050 ti. Which distro would be best suited for the task? Is Mint ok? Thank you. Update: Setting the dual boot was getting messy, so I clean installed Mint. I’ll try Windows VM later hoping it wont be too difficoult.
Copy, my major worry about swapping my daily driver over to Linux is because of the way Windows hides all my shit in clouds and random places for some reason I’m concerned I’ll lose something.
the major things i would check is your documents folder, which can be linked to onedrive, and to turn off bitlocker encryption if you’re going to remove windows entirely (your keys to it might be in your microsoft account). usually everything else is just in the folder on the drive; if you want any app data, then check the appdata folders but you’re better off just starting fresh or getting an export from the app if it allows and has a compatable linux version.
for browsing, most of my stuff was in my firefox account anyway so i could just sign back in on linux and get my bookmarks, history, etc.
just had to set up my imap info in thunderbird but all the emails were on the server so that wasn’t a big deal.
