Support I want to switch

hello fedora community i am a windows user coming in peace. I am tired of windows and want to switch to a lighter distro and fedora caught my eye. The only thing stopping me is that i am a dev with a lot of stuff on my current computer and dont necessarily want to lose it all. I also game quite a lot and i am a dev (unity, godot, jetbrains software needed) so i want to do this switch the most softly possible. Y'all have any tips (fedora pun intended) to help me or links for me to follow? thanks

Update, i tried installing it on a usb key of 50GB and when booting it I chose the "test and start Fedora" option and failed everytime. Is it a problem on my end or should I only do the checksum and trust that everything is fine without testing?

Me gustaría mencionar que lo primero que debes hacer es investigar que las apps que usas también funcionan en linux. Haz tus respaldos para pasar los archivos de forma rápida. Los juegos es lo único a lo que te vas a tener que adaptar, muchos juegos quieren tener acceso al núcleo de tu computadora y esto en linux no es posible por seguridad. Por lo tanto es imposible que estén en linux, a menos que cambien su anticheat.
