Topic: Switching from windows wallet to Linux wallets (Read 109 times)
Yeah my old windows 10 OS is 64bit and my Linux OS is also 64bit, I've tried it and it works, thank you guys for all your responses, at first I dont have the gut because it looks like it can't work, thank you all once again.
It's not my fault that I am now very fond of Linux OS after spending some years with windows OS, now I'm getting used to Linux OS so my question is can I move my blockchain data from windows 10 to Linux OS? Will it work? Or I need Linux wallet and download blockchain data all over again? I have wallets for Nodes like Ergo coin and Sia coin and others.
In theory it should work, especially if you move from Win x64 to Linux x64.
In reality, especially for lesser known coins, there's a risk and only somebody who has done this same move can actually tell.
As said, make sure the configs point to the right data folders. If you find out they don't, either change config - where you can - either use symbolic links where other solutions don't work.

It all depends what wallets exactly you used while you were using wiNd0ws operating system.If they are spv light wallets than all you need is to have your seed words or private keys, install wallets in Linux and import seed words in them.
For wallets that need downloading of full blockchain you will need to wait a bit longer for sync, but I don't know exacrly how it works for thise shitcoins you mentioned.
