Currently making my jump to linux :) - millionandbell - 10-08-2016

I'm in the process of defragging my hard drive and partitioning it to dual boot Debian, its going to be my first Linux experience, i've procrastinated this for a long time Smile I'm nervous and excited at the same time :')

Just don't fuck up your hard drive or else you lose everything

RE: Currently making my jump to linux :) - millionandbell - 10-08-2016

i have all my important stuff stored on a separate hard drive just in case

Good stuff, a lot of people generally skip the backup part because it takes too long for them, but its worth it in the end

i regret not backing up my windows 7 when i made the jump to windows 10, i got my windows 7 from dreamspark and i tried to jump back to windows 7 after about 2 months of using win 10 and of course i ran into problems getting windows 7 back so i'm trying to get my Key reactivated from them if that makes sense.

you already jumped to debian which is whatever - although i think that manjaro and ubuntu are better for beginners.

I was going to go to Ubuntu, but i wanted to go with something that wasn't too bloated and i feel like Ubuntu had a lot of preinstalled stuff which maybe good to some people, but not me.

its mainly just the default flavor's DE. unity is a piece of shit, xubuntu or kubuntu would suit you better.

Given It's going to be your first Introduction Into the Linux platform, you can always Install It on a VM and go from there.

Who knows, Linux may not be for you and at least on a VM, you can simply delete the VHD without touching the Host/Physical system.
