Dual booting on separate drives is safe, especially if you unplug the windows drive while installing Linux so you can't accidentally mix them up. Just don't mess with the windows drive from Linux. It's probably encrypted if you're running windows 11 anyways.

Sometimes they fail to update. I would imagine that there are quite a few people who don't bother setting up monitoring software to let them know if the certificate fails to update.

Some MediaTek WiFi cards are not supported. I had to replace one in a laptop.

That would only help if they are still seeded when you need them. Torrents for something like individual TV episodes usually won't have seeds for very long after the season pack gets released.

Maybe, but only if everything you do is in a web browser. Google is much worse than Microsoft when it comes to privacy though.

There are plenty of OCuLink eGPU enclosures available. There are also bare adapter boards if you want to build your own enclosure.

Since it's just PCIe with a different connector, it's much cheaper and simpler than Thunderbolt/USB4. It does have a couple of downsides though. It can't be hot plugged, so the computer has to be shut down to connect or disconnect an OCuLink device and the connector is not designed for a large number of mating cycles.

There will probably be a lot more websites with expired certificates soon.

How many people are still using ISA sound cards in PCs that are running the latest Linux kernel?

There's no ads when you're using uBlock Origin.

If you want to stream TV and movies on Linux, get familiar with bittorrent or usenet. The streaming providers won't let you watch in high quality to "prevent piracy", which just makes people pirate even if they would have been willing to pay for the content. On the plus side, you won't have to worry about a show disappearing when you're in the middle of watching it.

Why does a router need a video output?

The Pi Zero 2w will provide more than enough performance to stream a movie over Wireguard.
