Hello, Windows 10 user of about a year now. I would like to switch to Linux (Ubuntu or Debian), but have a couple of questions.
- Is there a way to play steam games designed for Windows on Linux?/What are the drawbacks of doing this?
- Is there a way to transfer files from my old OS to the new one without using external drives (i dont have one ;-;)
- Is there a distro more suited to a Windows user going into linux rehab?
- Is there anything else I should be aware of?
TIA as always comrades and good day.
Yeah it’s really important to have a backup no matter what. I once accidentally installed over the wrong whole drive because I wasn’t paying attention. Picked which /dev/sdx i was gonna install to then had to power down and move some things around. Went right back in and picked that device again and it wasn’t till the bar was 1/3 across that I thought “hey, what uuid was that…”
Another possibility is a damaged drive may fail completely during the install process.
Definitely make a backup.
