Bobbed between mac and pc my whole life, always afraid of the biggest switch. Made the plunge today with the help of a good friend.

    its not that difficult especially if you're using a more user friendly distro like ubuntu or mint. If you've every installed windows its not much different from that. You could try installing on a virtual machine if you wanna play around with it for a bit before.

      you don't know the extent of my own stupidity :lenin-shining:

      but jokes aside, if it is as easy as you say, I'll probably try to download and play around with Linux in a virtual machine to test the waters for a bit and maybe later I can install it on my main pc

        i believe in you :3

        but yea thats what i did. I installed like 10 different distros on virtual machines to try them all out, if you can do that I'm sure you could install it on your main pc. Another thing you could do is make a bootable USB. i have a bootable usb with parrotOS and another with TailsOS.
