From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Honestly, it might be just me, but at this point it's a matter of "just do it". Commit to and own your decision. 🤷 You can't prepare for everything.
I too was planning the switch for a while and I was like my next machine will be a Linux PC from the beginning (in 2-3 months)
but then, few days ago I was like fuck it, then installed Debian and KDE, without any serious preparations.
I like it 😊
Tho, it's not 'final', most of my data partitions aren't mounted the way I'd like and most of my user folders are on an ntfs disk right now, but before the new PC, I can consider it as a test run, then if everything is still nice, then I'll reformat some of my drives for better integration with Linux.
At the moment I can't just do it, because I need Photoshop and some scanning, and the Linux equivalents aren't there yet. I'm trying to make sure that when I'm finished with these, everything else will be either ready, or as close as I can get.
I think I've got most things, but I also know how forgetful I am, so know that I've missed something 🙈
