Tips When Switching to Linux?
flow.of.soul:
So it appears that there are alot of knowledgable Linux users so I thought I would post this topic here. So I am going to attempt to use Linux as my main os (I will be using ubuntu). So I'm looking for advice on what apps are essential or on what you wish you knew when you switched to Linux. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

And when you do that, know what you're typing before you press enter...

Read docs. Don't just google, copy and paste.

lol.
But seriously. Dual boot first. You never know when there's something you can't resolve on a tight schedule. Then a quick hack at ms can save your life and you figure out a work around when you truly have time. (No sense in freaking out because wine isn't being nice to the program you need for school because it's in dire need of windows)
Other than that... expect to screw things up and reinstall ubuntu a bunch of times to "get an easy fix".
Also... compiz is fucking sweet. :D
