Microsoft is doing its best to make Year of the Linux Desktop a reality

Can't thank them enough, honestly. The only thing holding me back is my fear of messing it up when I try to dual boot. I think I'm just hoping I will figure out a good alternative to the exactly one type of software that I need so I don't have to deal with that. I mean really, it's literally just a PDF editor so I know there's an alternative. It just makes me anxious.

Edit: also, it wouldn't let me select the language of my comment. It said this community doesn't allow posts in English. Is that something I messed up or do some communities just not allow it to be specified?

Edit 2: finally finishing up the install now! A few minor hiccups but it was all user error.

Just back up any important files. I've had to do many reinstallations because of accidentally breaking things.

For pdf software, using wine is an option. It also has been a concern of mine with switching, but it seems the software I've been using (PDFxchange) works fine with wine.
