lol I use Linux

Man i need to take the plunge but i don't want to screw with my games. Does Linux still hate dual boot? I fucked myself trying with mint a few years ago and spooked myself

Linux loves dual boot, windows is the problem and always has been. But as long as you install windows first and Linux second, there's no problem whatsoever, the installer detects your installation and automatically adds multiboot. Installing windows after Linux means that you will have to restore the bootloader.

Are you confident opening up the computer and replacing the storage device (probably SSD)? Dual boot can't screw up much of anything when you only put one OS drive in at a time.

Lol I tried that, doesn't support like 95% of the apps I use. Or od switch.

Would be nice if they would at least support printing.

Very weird. Switched to Linux and haven't found anything I'm not able to run yet. Maybe takes a little more effort or there are some quirks, but running well most of the time.

I'm also a Linux user and plenty of professional software and games just don't work. Anything Adobe, MS Office, professional video editor except DaVinci, a good CAD program, etc. Most multiplayer games won't work either, and even some singleplayer games (like Nioh) just won't work properly.

If you want to use Linux like windows you most likely won't succeed. You have to be willing to make some changes to alternative programs, but as long as you persevere you will be unplugged from the Matrix and start enjoying the freedom of choices.
