    I’m one decent hard drive away from a full-blown Linux switch, but $60-$100 is $60-$100 since dual-boot is apparently suboptimal, which I can’t abide.

      dual-boot is only suboptimal because MS actively fucks with grub.

      at least that’s how it was for me back in the day.

      I figured out a solution though. don’t dual-boot, and run Linux directly.

        I just can’t immediately pull the plug on my Windows setup. I still need it accessible due to various custom stuff that’d take a long time to duplicate over to Linux.

          I understand what you mean, but the longer you hold onto that stuff the longer you have to put up with their abusive shit.

          I did the same thing, except I kept a full second device for windows. one day, I just stopped using it and didn’t realize it until I couldn’t remember the last time I used it.

          good luck.
