I’m just so sick of Microsoft and Google. But there’s two things holding me back:

  1. I wanna play Steam games on my PC

  2. I am just an amateur hobbyist, not a tech wizard

Is there any hope for me?

    I say unplug the windows drive always, even if you don’t fuck up your Linux install may nuke your windows boot partition and it’s massive PITA to get it back

        This is not a debate whether one is better or the other, just saying to unplug your windows drive to install Linux, no need to defend linux

          I was attempting to warn them so that they unplug the Linux drive when updating windows too.

            Nobody here is talking about updating windows, you should at least write the context for your previous message

              If he’s keeping Windows to begin with, then logically he may still update it. It’s helpful to know that it might mess up his Linux installation.

      Has that ever happened across drives? Without user error?

      Every Linux distro I’ve ever used has been pretty damn specific about where it installs boot, and respectful of all other drives and boot loaders.

      I’ll concede defeat, but I find your claim hard to believe.

        Yes, first time when I installed Nobara, then second time when I installed Fedora. Both times windows was in another drive, both times I picked the right drive. I asked around and people recommend unplugging your windows drive, I agree.
