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’ve been running Linux exclusively on my laptop for about 5 years.

    I went from Manjaro, to EndeavourOS, then to Arch - using KDE, Xfce, Gnome, and eventually landing on hyprland.

    There was a few games that I played that were exclusive to Windows, so I kept Win10 on my desktop PC and kept tweaking it to match my Linux setup.

    But once I was done with those games and the Win10 EOL approaching, I was reminded of that Omni-Man meme, “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power”. My system had so many registry edits and applications/integrations just to imitate Linux, why not just go for the real deal?
