(3/X) Migration update: Moving from Windows to Linux!
Before switching to Linux for good, I made some backups. I saved my private and research files on an external hard disk. I also stored a backup of my research files on my employer's server.
Are there any other steps I should consider?

(2/X) Migration update: Moving from Windows to Linux!
Most of my software have solid alternatives — switched from EndNote to Zotero for reference management.
But migrating everything (attachments, file structure/groups) from EndNote is proving tricky.
If you know how to fully export an EndNote library with PDFs and folder structure, let me know!
A researcher (new to Linux, minimal time to learn) wants to switch from Microsoft. Main needs:
- Video calls
- Coding text docs
- Audio-to-text transcription
- Presentations
- Teaching + participation tools
- Video creation
- E-learning modules
- Simple photo/audio editing

I spoke to Chris Stokel-Walker for Scientific American about whether researchers can use generative AI, especially large language models, to replace human participants.
My short answer: no. My long answer:

ChatGPT is listed as an author on research papers: many scientists disapprove
At least four articles credit the AI tool as a co-author, as publishers scramble to regulate its use.
