I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in Linux. Be (mostly) free from Microsoft’s clammy hands.

      My current setup is two drives, a 500gb with windows and a 1tb sad with my Linux install on it. I set the 1tb to my first boot drive, so hopefully no windows shenanigans. I’m going to see if I can set up automatic backups soon just in case

      wait, you can have two different systems, on two SSDs, on the same computer? this will be useful once i get to build my pc. Thanks!

      i’m guessing having windows on a separate drive will mean that it won’t break GRUB?
