I swear to god if it wasn't for some very specific software programs that I NEED to use that simply isn't available for Linux (nor Wine) I would have gone 100% Linux many years ago.
dual boot?
I've done it before, it works but it's also a pain in the ass especially when my master boot record went missing mysteriously like three fucking times. I just do dedicated rigs now instead.
I once had the biggest of my boot drives eat the smaller one and then die because there were a lot of duplicate files and indexes.
