KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

So my PC will run W11 without a problem, but fuck that bloated mess. I have to use it on my work laptop and the number of times I’ve wanted to take a sledgehammer to it is innumerable.

I’ve settled on Bazzite because 90% of the time I’m playing steam games, but I’m having trouble understanding what (if anything) I need to do with my photos and music to migrate those over.

Also, I have 3 SSDs- 1 M.2 nvme for the OS, and 2 others for storage. After I back up my files to an external drive… and that’s where my knowledge of the process ends.

Anyone happen to know of any resources that can get me from the 1st grade understanding of Linux that I currently have to where I need to be to successfully migrate my PC?

Bazzite has a guide on how to format and mount drives: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/Auto-Mounting_Secondary_Drives/

Let me know if there's something specific you need.
