He wrote 40 novels and a lot of short stories, and is a great read almost always. He also wrote textbooks because he was just amazing.

Thanks, I'm leaning towards getting started with Linux and then investigating options from there. The opensuse someone else recommended also looks interesting.

Thanks. I've heard of the bootloader issue so I was planning on separate drives for Linux vs windows.

I love powershell, so I'm not afraid of the CLI, but it is daunting.

I meant to add... very long term goal if I get comfortable enough would be to maybe even try to convert my wife... but photoshop/Adobe Creative suite is a must have... how is that on Linux these days? Would this affect what distro I should aim for in that instance?

Did you try others before settling on Pop OS? Is there a largest reason it worked best for you?

Thanks, haven't heard of this one, looking into it now.

Long overdue, I know, but looking to start at least partially migrating and working with Dual boot, coming from Windows 10 (putting off 11 as much as possible)...

I have limited Linux experience, mostly in college several years back.

I work remotely with Windows software development, including Winforms, Asp.net, .net core, etc. Not sure what I need to best work with these, particularly Winforms. That may not even be possible, I know.

Looking for any general guidance/recommendations.

Long term, I'm interested in migrating as much as possible, outside of whatever I have to keep up for work... starting with dual boot options then moving towards linux as a primary driver. I have an old media server (also win10, not win11 compatable) not really doing much but running plex when I need it... would love to also eventually poke around with Home Assistant or similar, maybe some LLM tinkering etc.

If this isn't a good community for this, I apologize, and please point me to a better one if you know of one.

Oh good. I was worried they were defenseless.
