Man, I am really looking forward to fully ditching Windows.
There's no time better than the present ๐ Windows free since April!
Nice! What distro did you go with? I've been really enjoying Zorin.
Zorin OS became my favorite distro, tried a lot over the years. Consistent, clean design and pretty easy to customize, compatibility is good because it's based on ubuntu. Zorin connect is pretty neat too.
I finally pulled the trigger (again, hopefully for good this time) after a nonconsensual Windows update corrupted my disk and my bitlocker recovery key was not accepted.
That was a couple months ago now and I'm happy to report that not only is game compatibility on Linux loads better than last time I tried this but I can corroborate that many of my games also perform better on Linux than they did on the same system in Windows
Been dual-booting for about 4 years. It might be time to remove the Windows partition and use a VM though because I only use Windows a few times a year (just once this year for installing it).
Same, except I have two OS drives I swap between. Photoshop and Launchbox are all that's really keeping me anymore.
I also use 2 drives to avoid Windows "repairing" my Linux install away.
