Start with Linux Mint. It should be a very pleasant and straightforward experience right out of the box, and is just in general very beginner friendly. I recommend to create a live USB (basically, download the ISO from the Mint website, then use something like Balena Etcher to put it on a USB stick). You can then boot off that stick, and try Mint out to your heart's content, without risking your Windows install or data at all.

Can I ask, what are the programs you wager you'll have to emulate through wine?

(Not OP) Been using Borg with a Hetzner Storagebox recently.Easy and cheap!

I've recently switched from Backblaze to a Hetzner Storagebox. 5TB for only slightly more than I was paying for Backblaze.

They support BorgBackup out of the box, so super simple to set up encrypted, differential backups

Yeah. It's also just so incongruous with everything the EU usually (tries to) stand for.

The best thing would be if the courts decide that mandatory client side scanning is plain illegal. But for that the measure has to pass, so someone can sue. Not a pleasant prospect.

It's a good day to be an EU citizen.
Just like yesterday.

Just like any other day ~~except whenever some asshole pushes for ChatControl~~

Germans on the flight from Cologne to Palma, too.

I'm waiting for the Proxmox NixOS project to take off. I like the (network) seperability.

Yep, no leak.

(yes I know not for every usecase)
