Create a "Live" [CD/DVD] disk to boot off of in the Linux flavor of your choice, and see if all your peripherals work according to your needs.

All the proprietary bells and whistlers that you depend on for printer might not be supported, for instance.

usually HP printers will work- linux has been pretty good about getting HP products to be recognized- might be the same with other printer manufactures like canon, but not so much with more obscure ones- Linux has come a long way as far as compatibility these days- it’s still got a ways to go, but it’s much better than a few years ago even
