Maybe not that much more complicated, but it does give a less experienced user a lot more opportunities to make a mistake that could result in data loss or just a computer that suddenly decides not to boot Linux anymore since a Windows update broke grub.

From a Star Trek perspective, when they have to eject the (warp) core they are also in for a pretty bad time.

Am I crazy, or is that a lot of Tribbles?

The most important thing to do is backup your data to an external drive. Unless you are planning on dual booting (much more complicated) you will be wiping out the entire drive that has windows on it when you install Linux.

This guide goes through the whole installation process.

Mine is usually sheer horror at the prospect of getting that far and screwing up on an international stage. Secondhand anxiety is in the red zone.

My conspiracy theory is that hes sitting on a mountain of Hillbilly Elegy DVDs and this is his plan to finally sell them all.

But yeah, he believes in whatever is making him money at any given point because hes simply 10 pounds of slime in a 5 pound sack.

You're absolutely right. Everyone will be very worried and talk about the importance of security in the enterprise and yada yada yada until a cool new AI spreadsheet software comes out and everybody forgets to even check if their firewall is turned on.

But with that being said, if you have been looking for a good time to ask for cybersecuity funding at your org, see if you can't lock down 5 years worth of budget while everyone is aware of the risk to their businesses.

I'm willing to invest in a truckload of A&W if that's what it takes.
