    Windows 11. And I hate it.

    Yes, I did try Linux. I had a great time. But unfortunately my Windows installation always breaks whenever I dual boot it with Linux.

        Yes, I partitioned my drive and installed Linux on that (I only have one SSD installed, it’s a laptop)

        Maybe once I get my desktop fixed I’ll try it again. That one isn’t “officially” compatible with Windows 11.

            Yeah, that’s what I’ve been told.

            I’ll check if my lappy has another SSD slot, because if not, then… dual booting with a broken Windows installation is my only option.

                If I didn’t straight up delete my Windows installation (which contains important files), I would have to use MORE space just to run Windows on a VM in the Linux environment.

                If only I can just run the actual contents of my Windows partition on a VM, that’d be great.

              I had the same experience using a single hard drive. Two, ime, works flawlessly. Though i haven’t added windows boot to grub so i need to use BIOS to load windows, which is easy enough i haven’t bothered with grub. Your experience may vary based on BIOS.
