You’ve got a very relatable situation. Switching to Linux can be a gradual thing. -Keep your windows main, and get a flash drive boot

• make a folder on you C:/ or D:/ to store your Linux user files (like downloads and documents). This keeps your windows files more separate from your Linux files. It also let’s you keep files across boots. You can delete the Linux folder if you don’t want to keep it around.
• Open up Firefox, and have a browse of your favourite sites. See about logging in and getting your account logged in.
• what’s it like? Is it different to windows? Is the vibe different?
• try installing your favourite app or game.
• get curious!
• too much? Your windows is still right there.

Baby steps! And remember, you don’t need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step :)

Why did you choose this approach, vs adding comment metadata to each image? I’ve had the same initial thought, and now my photo collection has a story within each image, saved within its ‘comment’ metadata.

I like my approach because the stories are saved right with the image. They are coupled so you don’t loose one from another, regardless of software choice. My thought is that in 20 years time, what software and data standards are going to be around? Archival tends to work best when its simple and resilient. How does Journiv handle the text and image data?

Cool looking project :)
