That’s why you don’t dual boot.
Linux all the way.
I dual booted my study pc. Well technically I did. I didn’t use windows for a few months without thinking about it and by then I was too afraid of windows corrupting my linux if I ever booted it. So I effectively just had a Linux machine with half half the disk space. Never had a problem with it though.

That’s basically my story, as well.
I eventually had a close call where Windows almost booted by misclick - and it scared me it was going to mess up the Linux install I actually use - and I decided the stress wasn’t worth it, to me, to keep a fallback copy of Windows around.
But what if I’m on the fence and I’m trying out Linux?
This is allowed.

Sink or swim! Embrace chaos! Constant confusion builds character.
I wish I could delete that partition for good, but my computer grqphics professor forces me to write code for DirectX instead of Vulkan.
I’m building a dedicated windows VR gaming PC that can live in my shed so I don’t have to dual boot windows to use my racing sim.
Yes Linux and proton have come a long way, and for the most part is more than good enough. But for certain things (like my HP Reverb G2, or proprietary sim racing hardware drivers) it’s just easier to pirate windows
Shed? What quality shed do you have that you feel comfortable using it for VR?
It’s more like a detached room in the back yard, like a small granny flat. I’ve been using it as a workshop but I don’t use it nearly enough to justify so repurposing it to be an art studio for my wife, as well as a VR space for me that i can have my racing sim rig setup. Also planning on building a VR pinball cabinet.
Sorry, I am a sinner.
I have Windows on separate drive, but I haven’t used it in years (I mean, I launched it recently once to check if a hardware issue I was having was Linux specific — it wasn’t). I’m planning to delete it to reclaim the space, but I think I have some files I want to get from there but I don’t want to go through the entire file system to find them, so it’s just sitting there lol
As if windows would let grub live
Windows to my linux partition:
(this is why I wont dual boot)
Separate hard drives fixes this one.
I used to have 2 ssds with one for Windows, the other for Linux. When I needed more space for games I just gave up on Windows and haven’t since looked back. (Also converted one of my friends to dual-booting Mint).
Same. I have a 1tb drive with windows and a 4tb running Linux
Forgive me lord, for I have sinned.
The great flood (me not charging my laptop and leaving it in a humid place for 1.5 years) got rid of that (and everything with it), tho
I’m so sorry Jesus, I just wanted to play some tarkov
Believe it or not, straight to hell.
i can play stardew valley natively in linux. there’s no reason to dual boot.
Hey Jesus can you help me get Disco Elysium running on Kubuntu? I would ask for help with Fusion360 but I would probably need your dad’s help with that
There’s FreeCAD.
I try it every couple of months, but as long as it’s faster to boot into a Windows install and start Fusion360 than it is to learn how to make a cube in FreeCAD, I’m going to keep my windows install
FreeCAD isn’t that hard to use. Just different and not as polished.
Good. I’m safe. I single-boot Linux for decades.
I have some software that doesnt work with wine or anything else the like Ive tried, and doesnt seem to have a linux equivalent that I can find. Ive only been using linux a few months now, so maybe theres some other options that Im missing, but how else does one deal with that apart from booting back into the old windows install whenever I need that specific software?
