Hii everyone!! I made a post about 3 months ago when I first joined on piefed.world. I've since been wanting to migrate over to blahaj.zone but been putting it off due to not being able to migrate my posts and comments. So anyway, here I am now on a new account and will stick with this one moving forward.

I'm Natalie, a 34yr old IT Consultant from Sydney Australia. If it wasn't obvious by my pic, I'm male to female presenting, and not currently on HRT. I'm into Linuxy things (cliche I know), and Linux gaming a bit too, mainly CS2 and WoW. Also do a bit of gaming on my Switch, 2D and HD-2D JRPGs are my go to's.

Hope you had/are having a lovely long weekend if you are getting one! Otherwise a lovely weekend ☺️

Hii Natalie! I’m pleased to meet you. I don’t have a name yet as I am still working things out for myself. So Maple will do fine.

Since you are into Linux, what would be your top 3 tips for migrating from MS to Linux? I am dragging my feet on that one tbh.

Have you had a good Easter Time in Sydney? Do you celebrate?

[–] Keshara@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Hii Maple!

Ooo top 3 tips, give me a second haha.

Make sure all the software you need is available on Linux, or alternatives that you can live with. In the case of alternatives, see if there is Windows versions of those apps, you can begin your transition over while still using Windows lol.
Hardware compatibility is still a thing, although it is much much better these days than even say 3-4yrs ago. It can definitely be worth flashing a distro ISO to a USB stick and doing some testing in a live environment. This won't touch your system at all unless you actually install it.
Dual booting is always on option. However I've found that if I need Windows, then a W11 VM is good enough for my needs (host is currently Ubuntu 25.10, but I distrohop every few months lol). If you do dualboot, I've always heard keeping the drives separate instead of splitting drive space is recommended due to Windows shenanigans, but I'm not sure on this bit in particular.

And also, yes Easter was good here, I don't really celebrate but I will enjoy the time off work haha.
