Doesn't matter if those features are doomed to be locked behind a paywall shortly

Several weeks... might just be worth it to take a walk and find another hotel. Then cancel the rest of your nights at hotel#1 and cite their internet blocking policy of VPNs for the reason for cancelling the remainder of your stay, as it prevents you and many other professionals from working.
Yep logseq + syncthing
Forgot to mention there's also the linux upskill community on programming.dev as a continual improvement tool
Edit: spelling
Very useful fallback even for non-arch based distros if you cant find the info you seek for your distro.
I agree obsidian style notes (and zettelkasten in general) are great for learning stuff (I use logseq for my PKM so quite similar); however, I have heard the suggestion for linux/SYS admin type stuff its better to not take notes, and learn how to find the info you need in the docs (RTF(riendly)M). This builds the skill to find the info you need going forward, even if its something you have not previously studied and taken notes on and even if the ideal method has changed since you first learned it.
Just something to consider
Unless you can’t pass through a GPU if you need one…
Spoken like someone who has never tried it. Thats quite literally exactly what vfio mentioned above me is for.
Exactly; if there's something on windows you "cant give up" then just spin up a VM and run it in there.
I liked learning through osmosis watching linux videos in bed as I fall asleep. Stuff like this
Print out a linux basics cheatsheet for whatever distro you're on.
Use and practice.
Oh and don't forget timeshift snapshots.
With your usecase you should have a smooth transition. I'll recommend you skip straight to NobaraOS since you are replacing your windows and gaming on it.
Based on fedora and made by GloriousEggroll, the maker of protonGE. It the best desktop linux experience (including gaming and laptop specific usecases as well) I've had after distrohopping for a few years.
For the love of god save yourself the headache of constantly trying to undo ubuntu's stupid decisions and just don't bother with that (unwilling to just die) common recommendation. IMO its like fighting with windows' little sibling for control over your computer. Defeats the purpose of switching to linux and gives a v. bad first impression to new users.
P.S. don't dual-boot this shit is constant, its almost like Microsoft does it on purpose 🧐 just commit and you'll have an easier time.
I'm upgrading my father-in-laws 2011 imac (Intel, amd GPU) to an ssd, 16GB ram, and planning on putting an immutable linux OS on it for him since he primarily uses the browser anyways.
Any recommendations for non-techy seniors/gotchas for installing it on a mac?
I was thinking fedora silverblue since GNOME should feel more familiar than KDE for him.

Looks nice, I like the lowercase g
