One of my goals after moving is to get another HDD and dual-boot as I transition away. I mostly have to figure out gaming and video editing stuff. I will also probably run WINE just for notepad++ because I can't quit it with the textfx tools (so far as I know, the linux clone was abandoned, sadly).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I actually got board, got a new HDD, and got linux mint on it. It doesn't seem to have a bootloader installed and trying to install grub2 hasn't changed anything. I'm also pretty disappointed in game support. Maybe I'm missing something, but Steam knows it's on linux and a huge number of games in my library just say they run on windows or windows and mac.

I am looking at offloading asuch power draw from my physical residence as possible. I have an older windows desktop that I use strictly for gaming. However, I have mostly moved my higher end gaming to GeForce now. The service is often and my dream is to be able to run a lower powered laptop, and use GeForce now for high end gaming, but Nvidia is doing everything in their power to prevent Linux users from getting their full benefit of GeForce now. This means that I have to either keep an old macbook around or use windows to get my 1440p 120hz feature in geforce now.
As soon as there is a reliable way for linux to do this, I am completely off of windows. (with the exception of work)
I'm done both with windows and people that develope software that's only compatible with windows. Kind of c# shitters.
Switching to Linux: "I don't know how to do something"
Years after, being forced to use Windows: "I cannot do something"
(Then someone join the conversation with Adobe or MS Office argument, but I am talking about OS vs OS)
