    I dual boot Linux and Windows and it’s really painful whenever I have to go into Windows. I try to avoid it at all costs.

    It’s so jarring to go into Windows.

      What’s jarring is how using Linux after windows my brain feels slow. Everything opens and loads instantly. Its crazy the difference.

            Yeah I got tired of the coin toss of if the update was gonna brick my PC or not

            That brings back memories of my own days dual booting. I am so very thankful for Valve’s (and other’s!) contributions to Proton for gaming on Linux.

            I have a laptop with dual boot just in case. Using two drives that are independent with Refined works really well.

            Neither drive is aware of the other, and there is no worry whatever windows wants to do.

      I kept windows on my machine just in case too but I haven’t needed it for at least 6 months now. I don’t depend on any crazy proprietary software for my work and most Steam games work just fine so I’m thinking of getting rid of it altogether.
