What have you run into that sticks out to you?
I’m curious because I’ve been on Linux full-time for 2 years now and an avid user for years before, but my friend is thinking of switching and I want to know what he might need help with.

Rustjesus@lemmy.world 4 days agoDon’t know if this is a useful perspective, I switched to Linux about 2 weeks ago, coming from windows all my life, and most recently win10. It’s been tough, it seems like you can do anything you want, but you’re gonna spend many an hour troubleshooting early on for sure, and if you don’t have some amount of command line experience that’s gonna suck

If you’re using a new computer with Nvidia graphics, expect that to be a pain point. I’ve also had issues with the grub bootloader though within weeks I had a mitigation flow. Just remember to have a second computer around to use the internet to troubleshoot, and put important info you need that you work on on the PC on an attached thumbdrive also. This way you don’t have to worry about losing data. Makes the migration a lot more peaceful.

You’ve been using Windows all your life. It will take time to be comfortable with Linux since it’s a different workflow, that’s normal.
