Hey everyone,

I am exploring switching over to Linux but I would like to know why people switch. I have Windows 11 rn.

I dont do much code but will be doing some for school. I work remote and go to school remote. My career is not TOO technical.

What benefits caused you to switch over and what surprised you when you made the switch?

Thank you all in advanced.

    Download a linux distro iso file

    Burn iso to usb using rufus

    Restart computer with usb plugged in

    Get into bios by pressing your system’s specified key to get into bios while booting

    Go to the boot settings

    Select your usb

    Linux should pop up after a minute with install menu

    If you configure the settings right, you can have a dual boot setup with both windows and linux

    After linux is installed you no longer need the usb
