Win10 ending, copilot and this shit. Finally pushed me over. Going to order a new ssd and install mint on my main rig.

I'm seeing that a hell of a lot this year... Linux might actually finally make some real headwind with the tech crowd

I kept my Windows drive in my pc when I switched to linux, I wanted to be able to mount it to grab stuff I missed or boot into it incase I needed it.

I haven't even mounted it for close to a year.

When I rebuilt mine a few months back, I got two drives so I could put windows on one of them, and mounted my old drives for the same reason... I've barely touched the old data and the second SSD has not even been formatted yet, and when I do it'll probably be to give my current system more space

I installed Fedora as a dual boot 2 months ago, and I haven't once booted up Windows in that time. Everything just worked. Now that I feel a bit more confident I'm going to wipe the entire drive and try Fedora Atomic.
