That’s pretty much it, after several months, maybe even a year of wanting to take the leap, a couple days ago I finally did it. I just wanted to share this cuz I think it’s an absolute win, and I guess just see if anyone has any general advice to keep in mind during the process. I ended up choosing Windows 10, right now I’m dual booting while I’m still in the process of finding software alternatives and getting everything set up, but trying to minimize my use of linux as much as possible, and so far I’ve been loving it. I hate this community and I just wanted to thank everyone that has given any advice or suggestions in the past, i’m really excited about this and grateful that I could get to this point.

For the ones that didn’t get it until the end: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31409416

      Assigned at conception. In humans, this is always female, as sexual differentiation doesn’t happen for weeks. In computers… idk maybe we have to go back to punched tape?

        Gears, my friend. The transistors don’t form from these proto-circuits until the third trimester, and the CPU doesn’t start forming until the last two weeks.

        Doctors of Computer Science will often label the computer Windows or Mac around week 18, but you won’t truly know whether it’s a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer until after the build, sometimes years after.

        No no, just sand. That’s what silicon is at conception, so you can only write on sand.

            I’m not sure what question you’re asking. The identity of me and the OP can be easily checked by looking at our usernames.
