Me reinstalling windows for the 3rd time this year cause of some bsod:

  • yes
  • yes
  • yes
  • choose language
  • partition
  • log into forced account
  • no to telemetry 20x
  • sell your sole, give your personality up for theft to an aI and agree to never sue microsoft in their tos
  • reboot
  • find some guide on internet to follow step by step while I type commands into 20 different terminals, open 4 different control panels and use regedit to reduce the bloatware and spyware.

Me installing advanced user linux for the first time after previous process did not fix monster hunter from crashing:

  • choose language
  • partition
  • launch linux for first time
  • rpm fusion for nvidia drivers
  • reboot

If I had known linux runs games better I would have switched years ago.

Ok so now you gotta help me figure something out

Im sort of a hoarder when it comes to my data - as in I don't know what takes up 80% of my storage space but it does.

And I really want to switch to Linux, but the daunting task of finding where 8+ TB of data needs to go before I install it has slowed me down.

Actually 8TB isn't that bad thinking about it. Maybe it's just time to find anything I care about and just purge the rest, and start fresh?

You are the luckiest motherfucker on earth if your 8tb of data is safe on the same drive as windows.

Id just start fresh. Most of the crap you don't need. If you needed it youd know exactly what it is and would follow the backup law.

Oh it's not on the same drive as windows. It's just scattered amongst various SSDs
