    The only thing holding me back now is inertia with compatibility to extensive software/game collection. But yeah, about to jump ship.

      Baby steps. First FOSS Apps like Libre Office, Kate, Krita, then dual boot, then you delete the Windows partition :)

      The only thing that used to hold me back was Notepad+. Try using sites like Alternativeto.net to find and test the open source alternatives to what you use on windows first to see if they’re good enough.

          I did find it, thus the past tense. I used Notepad+ like I use a browser, with lots of tabs open and having the sessions carried over to the next run of the application. Let alone the line listings on the side and it being a pretty good xml & html editor. Besides it’s open source so what’s not to love 🤷‍♂️

      For me I thought compatibility would hold me back but I never used the windows partition in my dual boot so I ended up deleting it after a reinstall
