I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.

    I still have Windows installed, but I haven’t launched it in a year or so. I’m not sure why I keep it around, and it’s horribly out of date at this point anyway. It’s on a separate drive and I don’t need the space, so I just leave it there.

    I’ve been pretty much Linux only (except macOS for work) for ~15 years now, I just keep Windows around in case one of my kids needs it for school or something. It’s not even a licensed copy, just installed from their website in case I ended up needing it.
