Yeah, I am big on reading documentation. It has saved my ass quite a bit. Even if it doesn’t give me the answer I need, or I don’t quite get it still, it at least lets me hone in on what the potential issue is so I can clarify my search a bit better. I will keep that in mind, thanks!

I see, though I use OneDrive, I’m not terribly concerned with that, for now, I hope. lol We will see.

Yeah, that was another big concern for a LONG time about switching to Linux. I remember hearing about Linux years and years and years ago when basically nothing was really compatible. It’s come a long way, so now is as good a time as any to jump in.

Luckily someone else posted a website to check for alternative programs, so that also helps a lot.

As I say, when in doubt, read the Docs. It has saved my ass on numerous occasions to read the docs, then if I don’t understand something still, at least I can narrow down where the issue might be for google, or rather, the stackoverflow searcher that also includes results from other places lol

I have used WSL in vscode for other things, and have set up Homeassistant using rasp pi, but this is the first time that I am actually going to be using Linux as an OS. I heard a lot of great things about PopOS, so glad to hear so many good experiences people have had with it.

Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

That is one of the reasons I am making the jump. With them closing out support for 21H2, even though I am on 22H2, it’s only a matter of time before they pull the sneaky, “Oh, we updated this for you! You are so very welcome! Enjoy Windows 11 against your will!” like they have in the past. So, best to see if I prefer linux long term.

And that is one thing I have been looking for, I just couldn’t think of the right words for google to give the answer… Thanks so much!

Thanks! That does make sense. I consider myself fairly tech savvy-ish, and use several programming languages for work, so this totally makes sense (all day long with the “how to ___ in R/Python/SQL” lol). However, I am sure without this bit of advice I probably would have done exactly that then followed by getting frustrated after the 10th tab I opened didn’t give me the right answer yet.
