I wrote this piece 6 years ago, and I believe most of it is still relevant today. But with Windows 10 going EOL next year and the privacy nightmare of Recall, it's time for a fresh version of this article. I'm curious if you'd add anything else to it?
@killyourfm Timely. I just got a new (to me) laptop with Windows on it. No more excuses to not finally get a harddrive partitioned (that’s… that’s what one does, yes?) and get Linux set up with a dual boot option to dip a toe in.
@reay oooh, that's exciting! Will it be your first desktop Linux experience?
@killyourfm It will, indeed. Looking forward to it, although a bit nervous about trying to do something with a computer that I've never done before (with what is simply absurd bad luck with tech things going wrong for me).
Here's hoping.
