I’m on board that we need to become independent from big tech. As someone who is fond of the Mac user experience, from choosing hardware to how you navigate through apps, I need a guide to make the switch.

    don’t you have to get all your files in an external drive and delete a full computer before you can reinstall a different disto?

    Note that you can have a separate partition for the /home directory, under which your user directory is located. Then you could wipe just the system partition and install a new distro there, keeping /home as it is. But this requires some basic knowledge of partitions and a little attention during setup. In any case, having a backup is always recommended, especially when dealing with operations that can delete all your data.
