Gone from Windows to Ubuntu based to Fedora based to finally an Arch based distro with CachyOS over the last couple of years and I have never once regretted making the jump.

Especially since I still have a windows install that I use for a couple of very specific uses that I can’t do on Linux and it’s a pain in the proverbial every single time.

Finally cutting the cord on Windows due to finally breaking free from the last bits of software keeping you there feels so good.

When those gaps in when you boot into that Windows partition get further and further apart until the day it finally happens. The day that you no longer remember the last time you booted into that Windows machine. The day you can finally let yourself be free.

For me the last pieces were Lightroom and Fusion360.

Extracting files from xbox 360 discs is my last hurdle. Unfortunately linux systems won’t let you have files with ~ in, meaning I need to do it on windows. Once I’ve backed up all my discs (completely legally) I can finally ditch that partition.

I don’t know a lot about stuff, but is there a reason you’re backing up the files off the disks, rather than imaging the disks into an ISO or something? I’ve never owned a 360 disk, so maybe there’s some reason I don’t know.
