Hi everyone, I'm planning on moving from w11 to kubuntu (lts release - 24.04). I'm a gamer at heart, a game designer by education, and wanting to get away from Windows. I could really use some top tips, best practices, and things to look out for. I have run Linux on a Chromebook, but never as my primary PC.
I'm preparing by copying tax info, critical documents, game prototypes, and D&D documents to a USB.
Then run Linus from a different USB on restart?
Thank you for your help, and any references to specific how-to's 😅.
The most important thing: Tell us, the community, what your critical application needs are, and get suggestions for applications to use. So many people jump through fifty hoops because they Google search first and the first thing they try turns out to be deprecated, the second thing they try doesn't work on their system, the third thing they try has everything they need minus the most important part, the fourth thing they try turns out to be proprietary and half-broken, and so on.
You will not find good solutions just by searching around, you honestly, truly, need fucking nerds in this community who live this shit daily to help you know what the genuine best available solutions are. Otherwise you will spend weeks pounding your head against the keyboard using the wrong solutions, not because of anything you did wrong but because there are often so many different implementations of the same thing that it's nearly impossible to know which ones are the ones you need for your use case without directly asking some people.
Once you've been using it a few years, you'll be familiar enough with working solutions to keep track of this kind of thing yourself, but trust me, it takes a while.
My critical apps are (and Linux solution?) - obsidian - files are organized to be referenced cross platform - steam - works - talespire - requires proton (need to investigate how this works) - discord - works using browser (will need to test for video chat), might move to revolt if things in discord get worse.
Talespire you shouldn't have any issues with as long as you run it through Steam.
The main thing is that proton is enabled in Linux in Steam out of the box but only for some games. You will need to open your Steam settings and choose the Compatibility tab and choose to enable proton for all games ("Enable Steam Play for all other titles"). That should make it so that any game launched via Steam will run through the proton compatibility layer.
For non-Steam games check out Lutris.
As for Obsidian (not familiar, basing this on quick search), if its the "personal Wikipedia" note taking app they have multiple native Linux versions including a deb and a flatpak.
Discord, as I said elsewhere, use the website or the flatpak.
Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.
Also don't overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.
if i suggested encrypting said files before uploading them to cloud storage, would that be good advice or ramblings-of-the-homeless-man-on-the-corner-warning-of-the-black-helicopters
You're already using Obsidian, so my suggestion is... Take notes! Take notes on cool software you've discovered, take notes on your settings and configurations, take notes on any issues and bugs you've had to fix, take notes on how to use unfamiliar programs, take notes on Linux terminology. You have a huge personal knowledge base from years of using Windows. Linux is not hard to use, but it takes time to become second nature to you.
try not to get yourself in decision paralysis, if you mess something up it'll be pretty easy to redo it anyway because you've learnt how to do it already

huge numbers of people are going to have to be put on welfare doles or some kind of UBI - and the way things are set up currently that tax burden will fall on the remaining earners, not companies like amazon that pay very little tax
walmart is bigger than amazon and i'm sure they'll be doing similar automation as well in the near future. it's going to be UBI or welfare, mass population control and extermination, or some combination of the above
"The #RCMP has reportedly opened an investigation into those who’ve participated in Israel’s #genocide. This is a positive, but insufficient, step. Take a minute to email RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme to demand they apply the law, irrespective of political pressure, by investigating #Israel related violations of #Canada’s War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Act."
Presumably the RCMP can only investigate Canadians, which is what it’s doing. It’s a national police force. International things are the domain of the federal government.

Astronomers have discovered a new class of cosmic explosions called Extreme Nuclear Transients. ENTs occur when a massive star, at least three times heavier than the sun, drifts too close to a supermassive black hole, resulting in the obliteration of the star and the emission of plumes of energy.
The most powerful ENT documented in a study generating 25 times more energy than the most powerful known supernovae.
American manufacturers are experiencing supply chain disruptions similar to the COVID-19 pandemic due to tariffs and trade wars.
Delivery times for supplies are increasing, and material prices are rising at a faster rate. Tariffs are causing delays in customs clearance and supplier negotiations. The longer the disruptions last, the longer it takes to rectify them, even if tariffs are removed.
