Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.


Thank you for the warning. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes this not at all just as easy as creating a bootable backup of a Mac! And it’s the kind of thing that makes “this is easy” difficult to take seriously.
Now I know what to search for and I will probably be able to piece it together.
Well yes, but with a current Mac there are its own issues. It probably won’t boot at all, or by design it will fall back to the internal drive even if you tell it to boot from USB
It also can silently corrupt your data on either disk because of how it handles updates if you continue to do use both at the same time.
