Hello, I am sick and tired of Ubuntu relentlessly pushing snap. I currently am running a Windows Ubuntu Dual Boot and would like to replace the Windows partition with Garuda OS (They are on the same SSD). Eventually I want to move all my files from Ubuntu to Garuda and then delete Ubuntu.
I am not too familiar with messing around with the BIOS. I would like some advice on how exactly to safely do this without accidently bricking my system. Pointers to resources where I can learn how would also be helpful.
I am running Intel i5 with Nvidia 1070 GPU if that helps.
I need basically just my config files since projects are on gitlab. I will probably just zip them all up and store in cloud storage on dropbox and then redownload or try to access the ubuntu home paritition from Garuda if that is possible.

yeah good advice
i’d copy/rsync /home folder to a usb. regularly.
.
if you have a lot of symlinks, then make a simple bash script that’ll recreate them.
also worth having a bash script that installs all your packages , and makes any config changes (copies edited files ) should you need to start again for any reason.(fire / theft / disk failure).
cloud is ok as a 3rd backup - but i regard it more for portability and remote access than as a primary backup. whoever owns it can go bust, or have downtime, or get hacked etc.
