If anyone is on the fence about making the move from Windows spyware to Linux for general computing and terminal access to file servers and nodes, Ubuntu so far has worked out amazingly well with no hitches after only wiping Windows 11 Pro off a new laptop 72 hours ago.

Full connectivity to my node, and signing/ broadcasting air gapped and USB connected transactions on Sparrow through the node via Electrs is all working on the first attempt.

Back up your data, have a couple of extra thumb drives on hand for bootable media for the OS and imaging software like Clonezilla, and make the switch! You can still have your windows PC as a fallback while learning a new OS at a time where mainstream operating systems are getting creepy as fuck with data skimming and working up an advertising profile on you.
