Hello, I am sick and tired of Ubuntu relentlessly pushing snap. I currently am running a Windows Ubuntu Dual Boot and would like to replace the Windows partition with Garuda OS (They are on the same SSD). Eventually I want to move all my files from Ubuntu to Garuda and then delete Ubuntu.

I am not too familiar with messing around with the BIOS. I would like some advice on how exactly to safely do this without accidently bricking my system. Pointers to resources where I can learn how would also be helpful.

I am running Intel i5 with Nvidia 1070 GPU if that helps.

    I recommend using Transwiz to zip up your user profile, you can move the .trans.zip file to a neutral location (external drive, network storage, etc). Of course if you have valuable information stored outside the C:\Users folder, back it up as well. Now you should have a system you can safely mangle, destroy and rebuild without worrying about user data. Once you’ve built your new setup, extract the zip folder into /home/[your_name] or ~ and you’re all set.
