I changed my main machine over to Linux in the beginning of April, setting it up on its own NVMe so I could keep my other drive with Windows 10 intact and dual boot when needed.

I've been having a blast - ricing hyprland, better workflows, great gaming experiences.

Then yesterday I realized that I hadn't actually bothered to dual boot once since testing out the Windows entry in my systemd-boot menu when I first set it up.

Guess who just gained a 1TB drive to install more games?

I wiped out the Windows drive with no remorse. Damn, that felt good.

Goodbye Windows, you won't be missed.

Sometimes I run into some bullshit reason so I keep an old 120 GB SSD with Windows 10 in it so when I need I can plug it into my laptop.

The latest reason was, Xiaomi's bullshit bootloader unlocker that only works on Windows.

    Do you need windows running on bare metal? I'm quite happy with a VM for all my windows usage. For example the mouse I use has a config tool that only works on windows

    Most of the time a VM suffice. But when it comes to authenticating programs like that bootloader unlocker, I usually run into problems. Instead of trying to fix its problems, I find this solution easier. It's a 120 GB SSD I wouldn't possibly use otherwise anyway, so no hurt.
