> So really, why wouldn’t I blow that up and start over? I really wish more people would mention the option of dual booting. Use another separate SSD to install your linux OS and that way you always have the option of going back to your Windows install. You can even reserve some programs for Windows and do everything else with linux. There's really no need to approach it with a "screw it" attitude. You'll probably get yourself in too deep with that approach. | ||

Windows has a rather famous bad habit of nuking any other OSes installed on the same drive, so you really do need an extra separate drive, which is inconvenient if you don't already have a separate drive. | ||

This is the way. I've been dual booting with Ubuntu for almost 20 years now and my main finding these days is just how easy it has become and how rarely I need to switch to Windows. Sure, it happens and the option is always there, but Ubuntu as a daily driver is solid. | ||

Why stop with only 2 OS’s? I triple boot with Haiku. | ||
