@linux I just switched from windows 10 to Ubuntu Studio last Saturday, just wrapped up the transition yesterday. I love Linux. It is how a computer should be. I lost access to my audio interface, Keyscape VST and Valorant, but I have gained so much more. The Terminal is so much better than Windows neutered offering
I thought this was a hilarious post until I realized the title was truncated.
I thought it was going to be “I love my new Linux machine, but I’ve effectively lost access to the box and have to start over.”
@dingus I had seen a video of a musician who ran manjaro but killed his system, so that scared me off manjaro haha wanted to try it originally but Ubuntu studio seemed safer
Timeshift is your friend. I always make a snapshot when I start mucking about with kernel configs or modules
@vettnerk I have an external HDD with a lot of shit on it and can’t configure for timeshift backups ATM , but I realize the urgency of putting a backup up sooner than later
I love Linux, but it taught me to make backups
Manjaro is not your friend. Too bad you did not land on EndeavourOS. Good luck with Ubuntu.
If you are buying an old Thinkpad, you probably want to through a new SSD in it anyway.
