For example, I saw a post the other day detailing how to set up a Brother laser printer on Kinoite. That’s not something I would have initially considered a potential problem to be solved. Another I ran into some years ago had to do with an Edimax WiFi dongle that used some weirdly specific Realtek 8812 radio, for which you had to set up the driver via dkms. A little prep and knowledge in advance would have saved days of searching online.
I’ve started a personal to-do list of things to research and make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I make the full-time switch on my main desktop, so besides the usual “back up your files” advice, I’m hoping y’all can point out some QoL things I and others may often miss!
Treat yourself with a nice new fast SSD and install it on that. Dual booting on the same drive is asking for Windows update to “randomly” nuke your bootloader.
I have two drives, but I don’t really want to be part of the AI/Recall machine anymore. I’ll install Windows in a VM for the rare times I absolutely need it and forget about it the rest of the time.
