    Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?

      Nobara or Pop! OS would be good choices.

      Yeah, VR is still catching up, but I feel like (dual) booting to Win 10 just for specific purposes would greatly reduce the risk.

        I’d just be scared of windows trying to clobber my nix partition.

          Use separate disks.

          Haven’t had issues since the 2000s. Use a separate boot partition, use UEFI, you’re golden.

          Personally, I’ve never had trouble even with partitions, but Windows isn’t going to mess with drives that aren’t NTFS.

        Just installed ZorinOS on my PC (dual boot with Windows 11) and I’m playing Diablo 4 on Linux. How cool is this?

          It’s so cool. We’ve been waiting for Linux to cover gaming and it really has with the push from Steam.

          I’ve heard people like that one. I didn’t try it, but I love Nobara as my primary OS.
