Any other Linux users here? And has anyone fully migrated?

Your distro?

Você pode instalar um sistema Linux em uma nova partição, no mesmo disco rígido (ou em um segundo disco rígido, se tiver dois, como preferir) do seu computador. Assim, você ainda terá o Windows instalado, se quiser.

Você só precisa decidir quanto espaço cada sistema terá dentro do mesmo disco rígido.

Você também pode criar uma terceira partição (ou quantas quiser, mas não exagere, não crie partições demais para apenas um usuário) para ser usada por ambos os sistemas. Normalmente, o Linux sempre reconhecerá a partição do Windows e a utilizará como uma partição normal, mas o Windows, por padrão, não reconhecerá uma partição do Linux (existem programas de terceiros para fazer isso no Windows, mas... embora eu os utilize às vezes, prefiro não usar, por precaução).

Então, talvez seja interessante criar um terceiro espaço "neutro", em algum sistema de arquivos da Microsoft como NTFS ou os antigos FAT32/exFAT, para ajudar a mover "algum conteúdo" do Windows para o Linux sem precisar reiniciar o PC e iniciar o Linux. (O Linux usa sistemas de arquivos diferentes por padrão, como o "ext4", que é o mais usado no mundo Linux. NÃO espere que o Windows os reconheça por padrão. E NÃO instale o Linux em partições NTFS ou FAT... sim, você pode fazer isso, mas simplesmente não faça. São sistemas de arquivos da Microsoft; fuja deles se você realmente quiser liberdade).

Em todo caso, se você instalar o Linux sem apagar o Windows, você terá um "carregador" toda vez que iniciar o PC, apenas para selecionar qual sistema deseja iniciar (basicamente um carregador como o GRUB 2.x, ou outro similar. Eu sempre usei o GRUB porque minhas distribuições favoritas sempre instalavam o GRUB e o configuravam automaticamente durante a instalação do Linux, detectando corretamente todos os sistemas operacionais no PC).

Then you are basically forced to learn how to use Linux, and maybe even to try things as BSD based systems later (FreeBSD; OpenBSD, NetBSD...).

But forgot about BSD systems by now. Just learn Linux.
BSD systems are a LOT LESS friendly systems for novice people, and they are just other Unix-based systems, like Linux is. They are like "near cousins" to Linux.

So, you need to learn Linux. Really.
 
Então você basicamente é forçado a aprender a usar o Linux e talvez até a experimentar sistemas baseados em BSD mais tarde (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD...).

Mas já se esqueceu dos sistemas BSD. Agora é só aprender Linux.
Os sistemas BSD são MUITO MENOS amigáveis para iniciantes e são apenas mais um sistema baseado em Unix, assim como o Linux. São como "primos próximos" do Linux.

Então, você precisa aprender Linux. Sério.
EIt's because programming has been in my heart and soul since I was a child; I've always dreamed of being a game creator.I've been planning my things for a long time now.
 
I also want to start using Linux.
But there is a lot of distros, and i need a user friendly one.

Can someone please recommend a distro that is easy to use?
 
Eu também quero começar a usar Linux.
Mas existem muitas distribuições Linux, e eu preciso de uma que seja fácil de usar.

Alguém pode me recomendar uma distribuição Linux fácil de usar?
Linux Mint That's what they told me.
 
I heard linux is better than windows but im stayin with the later bc my pc is shared with my family

There are some such as:

  • Linux Mint
  • Pop OS
  • Zorin OS
  • Nobara Linux
 
Just an FYI: You should look forward to using the Terminal. Trust me, it may look scary, but that terminal lets you do a LOT, and extremely fast.

Imagine Linux like an old computer from the 80's. Like an advanced Commodore 64. It looks scary at first, but once you start learning commands, and you start to get in the rhythm of it, you will find it better & faster to use than any UI element.

Also, if you plan on using the text editor "Vim", the code to exit without saving is ":q!". Though, I recommend on using "MSEDIT" if you are new and to only experiment with Vim a little bit until you can do basic things with it.
 
I really don't regret switching to Linux at all, but I seriously miss my retroarch install.

The Windows and Linux versions have significantly different file structures so I wasn't able to import my setup...
 
Arch Linux user for about a year and a half i think? The migration process was tedious, but I was incredibly happy finally get rid of windows 10.
 
I keep going back and forth because... reasons...
But whenever I do use Linux, it's Mint (Cinnamon), plain and simple.

old reliable. it just doesnt break
 
When I first tried Linux I was scared of the terminal at first but when I started to want to learn it I eventually got accustomed to it. Terminal is just a lot easier way to do tasks on. If you're tired of having to just download applications and going to each site directly to get the download then install it. Then the terminal can make that less of a burden and more of a single command and hitting yes then you're done.
 
Linux has some good points but a lot of basic shit is literally broken. Linux is for people who like constantly tinkering with their PC because that's what you'll be doing a lot of the time.
 
Been working with Mint since the mid 2010s, and it's been a solid experience overall.

Só para você saber: prepare-se para usar o Terminal. Confie em mim, pode parecer assustador, mas esse terminal permite fazer MUITA coisa, e extremamente rápido.

Imagine o Linux como um computador antigo dos anos 80. Como um Commodore 64 avançado. Pode parecer assustador no início, mas assim que você começar a aprender os comandos e pegar o jeito, vai descobrir que é melhor e mais rápido de usar do que qualquer interface gráfica.

Além disso, se você pretende usar o editor de texto "Vim", o código para sair sem salvar é ":q!". No entanto, recomendo usar o "MSEdit" se você for iniciante e experimentar o Vim apenas um pouco até conseguir fazer o básico.
UEI'm going to use the standard Linux distribution from my work, which is when I'm entering the world of computing.

That was the case when I first used it over a decade ago for sure, but it has come a long way since then. Once you get it set up in particular, things really tend to be smooth sailing in my experience (and the friends I've seen switch recently seem to agree)
 
First dual booted xubuntu in 2012 or so, then played around with a few distributions until switching full time to ubuntu in 2019. I switched to Arch in 2021 and haven't looked back (although I experiment with NixOS for a summer in 2023 or so)
 
Isso certamente acontecia quando usei pela primeira vez, há mais de uma década, mas evoluiu bastante desde então. Depois de configurado corretamente, tudo tende a funcionar sem problemas, na minha experiência (e os amigos que vi migrar recentemente parecem concordar).
UEI just want to switch to Linux so I can work on my game system programming.
 
(What does UEI mean)
 
(O que significa UEI?)
I just wanted to start using Linux so I could do some programming, but I'm kind of bad at writing—I mean, I don't know how to write properly.
 
OpenSUSE is not an option sadly
Edit: why is FreeBSD an option? who uses that as a daily driver?
 
I used Mint briefly as a live environment till I found out my Windows install was preventing me from dual booting thanks to some driver BS. It was pretty glorious for a few minutes.
