Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

Kinda, not fully committed yet cause as "out of the box" as bazzite is, I still have some things I prefer my windows partition for. Oddly enough, the most recent thing was formatting a god damned flash drive! Like it really doesn't need to be as complicated as the devs made it to be!

I know you aren't here looking for suggestions but give gparted a try. It has a nice GUI and if you are used to disk management in windows, the only major difference in finding your way around is selecting the physical drive via a dropdown, instead of seeing all the physical disks at once.
