Hello, I am sick and tired of Ubuntu relentlessly pushing snap. I currently am running a Windows Ubuntu Dual Boot and would like to replace the Windows partition with Garuda OS (They are on the same SSD). Eventually I want to move all my files from Ubuntu to Garuda and then delete Ubuntu.

I am not too familiar with messing around with the BIOS. I would like some advice on how exactly to safely do this without accidently bricking my system. Pointers to resources where I can learn how would also be helpful.

I am running Intel i5 with Nvidia 1070 GPU if that helps.

      yeah good advice
      i’d copy/rsync /home folder to a usb. regularly.
      .
      if you have a lot of symlinks, then make a simple bash script that’ll recreate them.

      also worth having a bash script that installs all your packages , and makes any config changes (copies edited files ) should you need to start again for any reason.(fire / theft / disk failure).

      cloud is ok as a 3rd backup - but i regard it more for portability and remote access than as a primary backup. whoever owns it can go bust, or have downtime, or get hacked etc.
