Many apps are cross platform so switch apps first.
Then get a secondary SSD with an enclosure and use that. Get a big one so you can also use it for backups. Test the distro there for a while.
And... dont use Ubuntu.
Why? Do you have a link that explains this perspective? Or can you provide a summary to get me started?
Ubuntu is not following mainstream anymore, which is a bad thing. They are the only ones pushing snaps, while every other distro prefers Flatpaks. Their store is closed off and problematic, and the sandboxing only works on distros using AppArmor.
So they are pushing basically new Ubuntu repos, and just dont stop.
Also they theme GNOME apps like hell, have a strange appstore nobody needs (GNOME Software can handle packagekit, flatpak and snaps).
They ALSO now highly push Flutter instead of GTK for whatever reason, which brings inconsistencies, and flutter is nearly abandoned by Google.
For me the reason I love Linux is because it's made by the people using it. Fedora devs for example have an issue personally and fix it. Every change makes sense but Ubuntu seems to be doing their own thing and not listening to the issues their users are having making it annoying to use. They push software no one in the community wants to use and modify the fuck out of everything they package creating their own issues. I loved Ubuntu back in the day because it was my first distro but now it's just far off from what they used to be
