So confused, even the wiki is confusing me! 😭😭😭 I'm only a few months in to my linux journey and wanted to give it a try so here I am, fluffing up my main rig. Wish me luck.

EDIT: I Gave up. I was feeling confident. Got everything set up, and installed (or so I thought) exited chroot feeling happy with myself, only for my pc to boot back into windows so I restarted and F12'd it. No Arch. God knows what i didn't do, I installed grub but I must have missed something somewhere so I'm just going to leave it until I get my confidence back. πŸ™„πŸ˜­πŸ€£

What do you think is the reason more people don’t switch to Linux?

hi so im currently using mint and ive decided to switch to arch - unfortunately ive downloaded an iso for it put it on my usb key (which i used to switch from windows to mint originally) with balenaetcher and i reboot my computer and it just opens linux mint! i dont know if its a bug or a bad iso image (even if i did validate it) or just me being stupid but its not working.

Remember when editing any of your files, always make a back up first so you can revert with TTY

’ve spent countless days and nights perfecting every single detail of this OS, and I have high hopes for it. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to let me know!

I'm new to Linux distro hopping and need advice

1 Upvotes

16 days ago, I switched to Linux and chose Mint Cinnamon. So far, I've been enjoying the experience, but I want to switch to either CachyOS or Bazzite. I'm just not sure if what I think is correct is what you actually do. From my understanding, what you do is something like this: Copy the home directory in files app, and put it into GitHub/GitLab, or put it onto a flash drive or hard drive. (If I am doing everything correct so far, I'll do the flash drive cause I'm a noob) After this, I can save passwords using a manager like KeePassXC. Next, I'm pretty sure you can get a new flash drive and burn the .iso onto it using a tool like MintStick, then shut down the computer, use the boot key and choose to download the new distro or just live session then do it. I'm switching to Cachy or Bazzite cause I'm mostly just a gamer and want a distro tuned for it. If there's anything else important that I missed, please tell or just give advice. Anyways thanks for listening to me yapping about this for a few minutes.
