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.

    I would prefer to have it removed now but as an alternative you can just install games and stuff on it while windows still lives on it.

    Theoretically you can boot proton games from both sides. I just have never needed to do so.

      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.
