My fresh Ubuntu install says I need some updates. Okay, but there are some problems.

First, it tells me to close the snap-store to update it, but the snap-store is not open.

One concern: does Windows still believe it owns both drives? How do I know it won't ever write there?

Huh. The first thing on the Ubuntu website is a popup asking you to accept trackers.

Time to begin #TheDualBootening!

I'd like to print out all of my system specs on physical paper. In Windows 11, I can get some basic specs under System > About or by using systeminfo on the command line, but neither of these includes details like my graphics card. I can get this information from the Device Manager, but I don't see any way to either print it or paste it into another document. Any ideas?

In two days I'm going to dual boot my Windows box with Ubuntu.

I use the Windows machine *only* for gaming, so I don't think I have any data on there that I care about.

What am I going to regret not backing up?

I have a Windows box that I use pretty much only for gaming. I'll be working from home for the next year (sabbatical), so I plan to use this machine rather than my less powerful MacBook Pro.

Windows is not suitable for actual work, so in one week I plan to install Ubuntu (dual boot).
