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.

It seems a bit dated too, I definitely have a bitlocker disk mounted right now.

The TPM secure boot key part is true, but you can disable secure boot and use (on Windows) manage-bde to add a password based key. When you boot and it can’t load the bitlocker key from the TPM it prompts the user for a password.

I’m fairly sure there’s a way to bypass the secure boot requirement for Windows 11 too, I think I read about it but I’m not using windows so I didn’t look into it much.
