    Really as a technical user I’m moreso afraid of how much time and how much work it’ll cost me. And I know a lot of distros are 1 click installs. That doesn’t matter to me. It’s more the transferring files and getting things set up and settling in again. I’m already settled in on my windows 10 computer. Everything is where it needs to be. I changed to Firefox earlier this month and just that was mentally painful. I can’t imagine the whole OS.

    I’m in university too so this would be a day that I could be doing homework etc

      As someone who hopped over to the Linux side of the fence… same. Dual-booting somewhat eased the transition though, since I could do it more gradually and fall back to Windows whenever I needed it. Now that I primarily use Linux, I love how swapping to a new computer is 99% done by just copying homefolders. Even apps copy over, using user installed Flatpaks.

        It’s a bit of an exaggeration but I’m glad that of the many things I said, that was what you took away. Very insightful commentary.
