I’ve been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while, with Windows as the fall-back option in case I wanted to use Office for something. Now that they tried to trick me into paying a subscription for their AI slop machine, I’m finally, fully out. It was a pain to actually track down and back-up the stuff that was held for ransom in OneDrive, but now it is done.

    Bro I use windows for mostly gaming and it forced me to update to 24h2 which broke most games.

      Unless you’re specifically referring to games with kernal-level anti-cheat, I’m curious as to what games you need Windows for.

        Personally only use Windows on my work laptop and even that I am questioning it, might start using my Linux VM for day to day work

      Could you clarify on this a bit? I’m genuinely curious what the update did to the games as many use windows for the same.

        Some games just dont run at all basically, you get a black screen. I could roll it back with the recovery but it would suck bad if I could not. Disabled updates for now.
