The simple way is to dual boot or even simpler, set up a Linux distro in a Windows VM.
Let’s you play/see if the distro works for you.
TBH, I’ve got 1 machine where Windows is more problematic than the Ubuntu that is setup to dual boot… Can’t bring myself to do a fresh install of Windows lol…

Yeah, but did you include any biobs?
Jesus Christ.
I use the calculator in Ubuntu tor very simple purposes. It was crashing on me every time I opened it.
I tracked down why.
It was trying to get a foreign currency exchange rate file - which I was horrified that you’d think about even having in a calculator.
The reason that was failing? Because I had a VPN enabled.
And it wouldn’t even fail gracefully. Nope it would poof, disappear.
The fix is to disable vpn, and disable foreign currency in the preferences.
I was so pissed off. And on the next upgrade the same thing happened, which I’d forgotten all about, so went through it AGAIN!
Every now and then I think ‘OK, this time I surely should be able to switch over to Wayland!’
And there’s always one application or use case that stops me.
Yeah, I’m on nvidia which hasn’t helped either…
All my drives are nvme* now.
I feel so much safer punching in of=/dev/sdaX

I set a different background color on all my machines because of exactly this while using VNC/RDP
I tried upgrading instead of a fresh install.
Needless to say, I ended up doing a fresh install eventually…
Only at “Boil my skin off!” difficulty level
Just last week, I fired up Portal with RTX (on Windows, I’m ashamed to admit), and holy guacamole, I think it stresses my gpu more than any other game in my library!
I.d rather take any website than being continuously forced to download apps, or being told to go to Facebook for some business’s information.
There’s 2 things a website should respect - simple do it more often -, and not doing these will earn you my wrath:
Guest network only, bro 😁
This whole thread smells like a Samsung ad…
Hope you posted your bg3 build on Lemmy after that…

At one stage, all street names were removed from my city because of changes to the license osm was using. And my suburb was blank. I got on my bike with the app on my phone, and mapped it all over about 3 leisurely rides. And I can say I’ve been past every house in my suburb at least once 😁
I also have found it better for offroad riding and walking. Also did some track mapping offroad too.
Excitedly get new machine. Install Debian.
Not so excitedly search error messages.
Dejectedly find need kernel/drivers that’s 18 months later than the Debian versions
