Why wait? Hell, you can test out a live distro in a virtual machine to start learning about it right now before taking the big leap. Unless you’re already familiar with Linux anyways. 🐧
Indeed I am. I already have a dual-boot setup on my laptop (not yet on my desktop) but need to finish testing Linux alternatives and/or running under WINE for some of my Windows-only software. I’ve been slowly chipping away at that over the past few months and expect to continue to do so over the next few as well, after which I hope to be ready to completely switch over.
I’ve been trying to buy a new computer for years. I finally put the remaining pieces on my Christmas list lol.
Good news, Linux works well on old computers, and in many cases, you can just move the boot drive to the new hardware and you’re good.
If this is about SecureBoot stuff you’d have to get a new motherboard lol which basically means new everything sadly.
