Which directories should I back up in Windows before moving to Linux? (sopuli.xyz)

I'm going to switch from Windows 11 to Linux soon but first I wish to backup every every data and config files I can in my current Windows installation, even those that wouldn't natively work in Linux. I know the \Users folder is important to back up, but I don't know what other directories I am missing.

Just whatever documents you created as a user.

Nothung wlse UA of value in another Windows install, let alone on Linux.

These are all the docs you should already be backing up anyway.
