So I’ve already had experience with dual booting windows/Linux and using different types of Linux distros on their own as well as using virtual machines. I’ve gotten rid of windows on my desktop completely but my laptop still has windows 11 and is the only thing I own that uses windows at all anymore. Before I make the jump I wanted to see a couple peoples opinions because I’m no expert but I feel like its easier for things to go wrong when changing a laptop as opposed to a desktop.

Do I have anything to worry about? Is the process going to be basically the same? Will there be any “safeguards” in the laptop that try to prevent something like this?

The laptop is an Asus zenbook pro duo, 1tb ssd, 32gb ram, Intel i7, nvidia geforce rtx 3070. Just in case that has any effect on anything.

    Everything will mostly work out of the box without any intervention. However, this is one of ASUS’ most problematic models even on Windows due to the dual screens and touch features.

    There’s also a handful of other repos that specifically address ASUS feature compatibility for their odd models. You should be fine.
