Man I don’t miss Windows. Gaming, work, etc. all done on Linux here. I don’t even use my dual boot anymore. Haven’t for months. Probably need to just fully nuke my Windows drive and make it more storage for games.
I ended my dual boot around Win XP days. I only saw the Win 8 horror in store displays, and I only installed Win11 one time. OMG it sucked - the hell was MS doing demanding I sign up a ms account to install an OS?
I can’t upvote you hard enough. I built a new machine in April when it was finally time to get off of Windows 7. I thought I’d try gaming on Linux since I heard it got so much better. Holy shit has it gotten better! In the last 5ish months I’ve only found one game I couldn’t get to run and it was a demo. Starcraft 2, the new System Shock, pretty much everything I throw at it has been great. There’s never been a better time to not have a Windows partition!
If only my work supported Linux - Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwel Studio 5000, Mitsubishi RSWorks3 - they’re already struggling with Window$ updates, impossible to run on anything else.

Could those be run in a VM or a vApp deployment to avoid Windows Updates breaking them?
