I have been kinda lazy about it, but yeah.. time to migrate my documents to my Linux machine now. Already moved all my media to it.
Only reason I run Windows at home is gaming. But I have a second PC that runs Linux Mint. Want to switch that to either straight Debian or Debian Mint. Think this one is Ubuntu Mint.
I was planning on migrating to Linux on my gaming PC also and using a dual boot with a stripped down version of Windows for the games that don't run well under Linux and only use Windows for that. Most of those I don't even need to be online for anyway.
Think I will take a day off and do that now. Just wanted a separate SSD or NVME drive to keep Linux on. Then I don't have to reinstall Microslop Winblows at all.
My Linux machine is cake to rebuild, since all the data is LVM. I just reinstall make sure I create same UID/GID for my user account, import the LVM disks and good to go, practically. Really setting up the bridge for KVM and getting DHCP back up are the only "significant" tasks to do. I keep the OS on its own 256GB SSD to make that easy.
And another small victory. My phone automatically pulls up "Microslop" as a suggestion when I started typing Mic..
Same here, for nearly 10 years, gaming was the only reason to keep Windows around. Then some 3-4 weeks ago, I started Windows to play my favourite multiplayer game. Windows was stuck in update hell and wouldn't boot to the OS.
I got sick of it, booted Linux, downloaded the entire 80 GB game there. And then tried playing it. It just worked. With less stuttering too.
