should i switch to linux?
Linux is unfamiliar territory for you—it requires some time to grasp. Windows feels more comfortable since it aligns with what you already know. Whenever you can, using older laptops helps you learn Linux better, especially ThinkPads. Real hardware offers a smoother experience, and having your primary device handy makes it easier to search up information when you're unsure.
Consider these prompts before proceeding:
1. Am I prepared to let go of hand guidance during setup?
2. Am I comfortable embracing the challenge and learning curve?
3. Am I open to having more choices than usual?
4. Am I willing to take the simpler approach?
5. Am I ready to navigate BIOS settings for certain tasks (occasionally)?
If any of 1–4 are no, skip this step. If 5 is also no, it's acceptable—just note all yes and move forward.
