I just bought a new NVME SSD as I need to reinstall Windows anyway. I am seriously considering at least dual booting Windows and Linux or just going full Linux at once. You guys in here and the Linux community on Lemmy show me that it is possible to escape Windows without too much trouble, even for a Linux newb like me.

Okay, I am not a complete newb, I have set up a few Raspberry Pis and do run a unRAID server, but I have never seriously used Linux as a daily driver on my desktop or laptop.

Dual boot on separate disks is pretty nice. You can even load up your Windows install inside a VM on your Linux drive

I did that for a while but the other day I wiped out the windows drive and squished the two of them into a single drive with LVM 👍
