“In this brief series (if two articles can be considered a
series) I will help ease the migration from both Windows to Linux
and Mac to Linux. Hopefully, upon reading these articles, you will
have a good game plan so your migration (or your users migration)
will be as seamless as possible.“Choose your distribution wisely
“This is the real key for easy migration. There are a LOT of
distributions out there, for just about every type of user and
every type of use. There have been plenty of distributions that
have attempted to mimic the look and feel of Windows as closely as
possible (this was a very ’90s tactic). But ultimately it boils
down to which distribution you choose that will help to make your
migration simple. Most Windows users are going to want to stick to
one of the major distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat, SuSE) if for only
one reason: support.”
