Same, honestly. I’d been putting off the move for a while, but some friends gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finally do it. And even then, I spent a few days booting from a flash drive (to get used to it and figure it out, of course) before finally committing. I’ve only booted into Win10 once since then, and that was to troubleshoot something on my Linux boot lol

Instructions on that installation method are here, if you are interested 🙂
