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.

Sweet. Thanks! Hopefully I won't have to do too many reinstallations lol

Got on my laptop today and Microsoft had installed (or reinstalled?) Copilot. I was going to wait til the weekend, but that really motivated me to just do it tonight. Of course Microsoft's backup is not working properly so I have to backup everything folder by folder. Which is annoying. But Microsoft sure knows how to get me to get things done! Thinking of sending them a thank you card.
