Okay so maybe ease myself in with dual boot, then Linux + virtual Windows, then Linux only. That seems like a good transition.

I've added it to the list for review! Thank you!

Typically I have a browser (Firefox), Blender for some 3D modeling, uTorrent, previously Plex (but wanting to move away from it to something like Jellyfin maybe), Microsoft Offjce products but mostly Word/Excel/PowerPoint, and I have Outlook on my work laptop but am used to using browser for email client as needed so thats not a huge priority if there isnt a good mail application. There are probably others but those are the most often or daily usage!

Thank you!

Ah okay that makes sense. I wasn't familiar with the term, but I've heard of bootloaders.

Oh that's interesting. So each time I login I could potentially load into a different styling as I choose?

Does a desktop environment really draw that much more resource than another?

I forget what GPU I currently have but I may be upgrading soon anyway so I'll be sure to keep that in mind for the purchase. That's the first big step: finding software to fit my needs as they come up but that can be piece by piece!

Gaming is not a high priority for me on the desktop, but the others I will keep in mind!

I suppose trial by fire can be a fast method of learning! Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the response!

Thank you for the tips!
