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.
i’ve used linux in the past for servers so i did have some background but when i switched on my desktop from windows to linux, i jumped right into mint and it’s been one of the best experiences. setup was pretty easier; i recommend using a live usb to test it out since you can install right from there.
Even though I use EndeavourOS (Arch easy installer), I won’t hesitate to vouch for Mint. I’m using its Cinnamon desktop environment (DE) and it’s the best user experience I’ve had after having used Xfce, KDE Plasma, Budgie, Gnome, et cetera.
We’re you able to keep all your files from windows when you transitioned?
well most of the stuff i really wanted i either had in google drive (i just use it as an external hdd for random files) and then i moved the important stuff cough downloaded movies and shows to another external hdd and the rest i just blew away.
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.
