That’s pretty much it, after several months, maybe even a year of wanting to take the leap, a couple days ago I finally did it. I just wanted to share this cuz I think it’s an absolute win, and I guess just see if anyone has any general advice to keep in mind during the process. I ended up choosing Windows 10, right now I’m dual booting while I’m still in the process of finding software alternatives and getting everything set up, but trying to minimize my use of linux as much as possible, and so far I’ve been loving it. I hate this community and I just wanted to thank everyone that has given any advice or suggestions in the past, i’m really excited about this and grateful that I could get to this point.

    One thing I’d recommend is that you do not dual boot: if you need windows, run it in a VM instead.

    The big problem with dual booting is that I, and a lot of people I’ve known, end up going all in on Linux we really mean it this time, until we have to boot back into windows and then… kinda just stay there, because fuck it, rebooting is annoying and this works fine.

    That may not be you, but it sure as crap has been me over multiple change attempts, so just something to think about.
