As others have suggested it is probably smarter to just backup windows onto a portable hard drive, or you could do Windows2Go which is finicky but do-able.
Also you didn’t ask what distro, but I have been enjoying Fedora Kinoite it’s a very smooth transition (and improvement) from Windows.
Importantly, the WhoSampled you know and love is here to stay as a standalone platform and brand. It will continue to operate much as it always has
Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it’s “immutable” which means the OS filesystem can’t be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.
Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.
I am trying out Kinoite now but it’s very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a “Just works” experience to start with.
Every. Single. Time.
With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.

I’m going to install CachyOS, an Arch-based distro

That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.
“Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there’s a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone.”
Y’all know damn well Corridor8031 didn’t donate a dime.
I actually learned of this when the Material You Home Assistant addon updated yesterday. Kudos to the dev for being extremely on the ball.

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.
I’m all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway
A valid phone number is needed for Google accounts
Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate
Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway
Good piece. I have been largely impressed with Firefox’s “AI” features. They appear to be just normal useful features they are calling “AI” for marketing.
Tried and couldn’t! Was hoping someone here could highlight something I missed but seems no.
Not saying you’re wrong (pretty sure you’re not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.
