I completed the setup on my new Windows installation with a PCI 4.0 M.2 NVMe drive and am prepared to replace the old Windows 10 drive for Ubuntu installation and dual booting. Should I remove all existing drives and keep only the target drive, similar to the process used for Windows? Yes, I can create a bootable Ubuntu USB drive first. Installing Ubuntu Pro is fine, and then adding the UKUI desktop environment would work well since you prefer Kylin UI over the CCP version.

You don't need to (and it's not required on Windows either), but it's helpful because it stops you from misformatting the wrong drive. Of course, I wouldn't suggest it for someone just starting out.

It’s not ideal because setting everything up from scratch can be challenging and may lead to unexpected problems.

I've been handling my remote Ubuntu server via CLI for a long time, so I'm familiar with Linux desktops, though I'm still getting used to them.

installing a desktop often isn't complicated—it's just about running apt-get with a package that brings in the necessary components. Once done, you should be able to log out and choose your new desktop.

It was quick to set up Ubuntu in about fifteen minutes. The experience was smoother than I anticipated, offering a more refined feel. I was surprised by how complex it is to create an icon for an installed package. If you don’t first look for a simpler installation method, locating it in Activities and pinning it can be tricky. Once you master it, some conveniences you take for granted in commercial operating systems—like instantly creating shortcuts or dragging with Ctrl+Shift—can feel more challenging here.

It's frustrating that Logitech didn't release a Linux port for G Hub. Some button features are missing, which is a letdown.

You're not sure if a desktop environment is necessary. Vanilla Ubuntu seems fine as it is. The versions you see online often look outdated or blurry, but they appear very refined when viewed in 4K.
