Didn’t they have their surprised Pikachu face moment about people not switching to 11 already?
Can’t thank them enough, honestly. The only thing holding me back is my fear of messing it up when I try to dual boot. I think I’m just hoping I will figure out a good alternative to the exactly one type of software that I need so I don’t have to deal with that. I mean really, it’s literally just a PDF editor so I know there’s an alternative. It just makes me anxious.
Edit: also, it wouldn’t let me select the language of my comment. It said this community doesn’t allow posts in English. Is that something I messed up or do some communities just not allow it to be specified?
Edit 2: finally finishing up the install now! A few minor hiccups but it was all user error.
Just back up any important files. I’ve had to do many reinstallations because of accidentally breaking things.
For pdf software, using wine is an option. It also has been a concern of mine with switching, but it seems the software I’ve been using (PDFxchange) works fine with wine.
Hey, I just finished my own search for a good Linux-compatible PDF editor. I wound up choosing Master PDF, which works on both Linux and Windows and has a demo available. It’s about $100 for a license which I’ve very much found worth paying.
… I’m sure that there are also methods out there for getting it to work if you find yourself unable to pay the license cost.
As for dual booting, it’s a bit of a learning curve but the software has gotten so much better over the years that I think you’d be easily able to do it. Find some YouTube videos if you feel anxious or if you have specific or unusual needs in your setup and just go for it!
Edit: but back up your files, just to be safe!
Microsoft business was never meant to convince: it’s either forcing their way in by bully OEMs in doing what they want, and make sure Linux isn’t an option, like in the ACPI case, or buy successful companies that elude their direct control (or simply buy companies that already won the battle they are fighting, like their desperate attempt to make a success “Microsoft Game Studio” and instead resort to buy Bethesda, Activision etc.)
