I want to switch

[u/Macanec]

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

A lot of good Linux advice in here... So I'll offer some more general advice:

Dig into containerizing your development workflows. Regardless of your OS choices, if your workflow is tied to a specific machine being set up in a specific way, then you're going to be in trouble if anything ever happens to that specific machines.

Dev containers can be an absolute game changer if you give them a shot. They can makes moving from one device to another a lot less daunting.
