  1. Download Nobara OS (Linux distro optimized for gaming by default)

  2. Set up dual boot with both Linux/Nobara and Windows so you can boot into either.

You can just delete windows entirely later if you find yourself not using it. That’s what I ended up doing after a few months of dual booting.

Ty! Haven’t looked at the links yet; to save my old shit do I need to get a hard drive or will everything just be normal?

The point of the dual boot is that you still have everything from before. When you turn on the computer, it’ll ask if you want your old Windows or your new Linux.

Dope! I’ll try your guides then; that was my main concern with the switch over

This is duel booting so you don’t need to backup anything

Like the others said, dual-booting means you’ll keep windows and your files… But you should still always be backing up at least your important files regardless tbh
