I changed my main machine over to Linux in the beginning of April, setting it up on its own NVMe so I could keep my other drive with Windows 10 intact and dual boot when needed.

I’ve been having a blast - ricing hyprland, better workflows, great gaming experiences.

Then yesterday I realized that I hadn’t actually bothered to dual boot once since testing out the Windows entry in my systemd-boot menu when I first set it up.

Guess who just gained a 1TB drive to install more games?

I wiped out the Windows drive with no remorse. Damn, that felt good.

Goodbye Windows, you won’t be missed.

    It’s a pain. Windows can’t read ext4 and NTFS does not play well with Proton gaming. You could use exfat as a common filesystem. My solution before I gave up duel booting was to put games on my NAS and access them via NFS. It was a bit slow even on a 2.5gb network, but very playable.
