    TBH, I assisted with some linux installs and setting up a dual boot was troublesome. Installing a clean install worked easier!

    If you have an old, spare laptop around, I recommend trying linux first with that laptop before making the plunge.

      Up til now, I only had gaming desktops for the last 30+ years. Still, I might be able to borrow a laptop from another resident of the building. Hopefully with a power cable and all of that.

      …Wait, up until now I was using GPedit to try and force Windows Enterprise to update with my permission and timeline, but it always seemed to be a bit ignored. But I can use ‘services.msc’ to disable Windows Update from starting up. I can probably use the WSUS tool if I want specific updates from that point on…

      In theory, anyways. I will have to try it out. I don’t want to migrate if I can avoid it.
