    i made teh jump two years ago... the biggest change wasnt technical, it was learning to look for alternatives instead of exact copies of Windows apps, check whether your specific tools for older games have native versions or work through Flatpak before deciding. good luck man!

    ahh classic pick an LTS or stable release for a machine u depend on. fewer surprises and you can still get newer apps via Flatpak.

    Keep the dual boot for a few months but make Linux the default boot entry. If you go weeks without needing Windows, you have ur answer.

    back up your Windows partition with an image tool before wiping it... cheap insurance if you discover a missing tool later. hope that helps :)

    oh ive been there lol hardware matters more than distro. Check your Wi-Fi chip and GPU with lspci -k on a live USB. if both show a driver in use, the hard part is already solved. hope that helps :)
