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.

    You know one of the easiest and safest ways of switching base os? Replace the ssd (or m.2).

    They’re ridiculously cheap now and, after copying the installer files to a usb stick, unplug your old ssd and plug in the new one. Then you can go back fully if it doesn’t work out.

      And you can get a cheap enclosure for the old m.2 or SSD to copy files you need off the old one.
