@itsfoss My suggestion is to first try out (cross platform) open source apps first before looking for a Linux distro. Check out what there is to offer and explore the community. If it goes well, then the actual migration to Linux will be much easier.
@itsfoss
Please start by dual booting if possible. Linux isn't Windows and if you depend on specific proprietary software, you may find the open source equivalent might not be enough, or there might not even be one at all. But never the less, give it a week or two as your primary OS and give it a serious chance. And please choose a distro that tries to make it easy for new users, like Mint for example. There's no shame in wanting to have things just work.
@itsfoss don't do it if you're happy with your current OS (non Linux). Do it if you're unhappy with it, or do it while thinking of the issues you've had with it. Maybe start slow, dual boot at first. But it's 2024 now, not 2004, so you'll be fine even with Wine
2nd: Is your computer/notebook and your printer etc. well supported by #Linux? Check the internet for it.
3rd: After switching: Look first for software in the distribution repositories and not on the websites of the projects. Install it from the distribution if available.
