That’s easy, just change the boot order so it defaults to Linux. If it’s a pain to boot into Windows, you’ll use it less and naturally replace your usage with Linux.
Try it for a week or two, you probably won’t feel the need to go back. Make the switch today.
I haven’t had any issues accessing NTFS from Linux, though running applications in Linux from NTFS is not a recipe for success. Only share data across OSes and everything should be fine.
Nah still doesn’t work, lots of errors and poor performance, but that’s probably because my OS is manjaro. I’m definetly going to switch to another distro, but don’t know which one
I really like openSUSE Tumbleweed, it basically feels like a polished rolling release.
But what exactly are you trying to do? If you’re using Steam, it just works. You can even add non-Steam games to Steam and use Proton with it. If you can’t figure it out, post the issues you run into and surely someone will lend some tips.
Manjaro was my first distro, and I still have a soft spot for it despite its flaws, but I tend to think Garuda now does a better job filling the Manjaro niche in just about every way.
It’s not just Steam Deck. It’s also Proton, which managed to do what Lutris couldn’t: make Magic Arena consistently work in WINE on my Linux desktop.
Proton is the reason I don’t need any Windows machines anymore
I just need to suck it up and make the switch over already.
Would recommend, I actually enjoy interacting with my computer now rather than just tolerating Windows
I have it dual booting, just need to make the switch over to primary.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing today. Pretty nice, just a pain to deal with NTFS shares but maybe I won’t need them soon enough.
Good luck!

Depending on what you do with it it’s easier than you’d think (provided you have a decent knowledge of Linux)
I still can’t figure out how to implement proton into my wine build
Use ProtonQT-up (I think that’s the name) and Lutris. Works perfectly
