I don't want to keep windows because i like it, i need to keep it because I won't have enough time to migrate all at once, knowing how complicated windows is.

I'm basically going to migrate little by little, as much as i need every session, i also don't know how to use linux much so i expect to learn with time.

Huh, and i just installed it on my secondary computer (laptop). Maybe i should setup a dual boot on my main one soon and disable network communications in the windows partition, and then migrate ny files slowly until i can confidently get rid of that partition.

Quality content 👌🏽✨

Saved for late :^)

Had a linux moment yesterday, piped "clang --help" into grep to find something, it wasn't there but the piping itself was awesome.

Don't have anybody else to tell lol

I'm finally back, apparently linux mint comes with ntfs handling out of the box, just opened the file explorer (nemo), and opened a picture successfully.

Only step left is disabling booting through windows.

It's about the files, not the OS

Something kinda funny, installing clang is extremely simple, and gcc was preinstalled, so i already got a C development environment on vs code :)

Maybe I'll try getting a different code editor, to simplify things even more, it'll take a while though, for now vs code should be fine

I'd really like to not open up the device and mess with it, kinda need it for use soon, so i cant afford the time.

Also, i agree, but just disabling the ability to boot through windows should be enough for now, by the time I'd need more control, i can safely say the old files aren't needed, and can ditch the windows partition.

It's not for professional reasons, it's all personal, plus studies, I'm not switching wholesale because i might need to access the old files (extremely unlikely, but I don't want to make decisions based on that), and the laptop has enough stirage for me to be happy with the partition i made, which is ~200GB

Look i appreciate the help but you didn't read the rest of the thread, i have a reason to keep it, it non negotiable.

I'll try disabling the windows boot like someone said, and read the partition from linux, is enough to avoid the possibility.
