I’ve been meaning to switch my pc to linux for a while but have only recently gotten enough time to switch. Is there anything that I would need a dualboot for? I was previously concerned with VR, specifically using a quest wirelessly. I heard about a year ago that it is possible but not the best. Has it improved since then?
And is there anything else I would still need a windows machine for? I don’t know specifically what doesn’t work and I don’t mind using FOSS alternatives.
I was running a raspberry pi with raspian on it as a homelab for a few years (until the SD card died :( I still need to fix that) so I am not completely unfamiliar with linux and the terminal and am willing to use it to make programs work as long as they work as well as they would on windows.
(I’ve decided on swapping to mint if that matters)
I made a comment with everything I am not 100% sure will work. Summarised here: Is there somewhere like protondb I can check to see how well windows only software works through wine, and how well does BYOND and Star Citizen work in linux (I know they do work, but have no idea how well).
You will only know how well these things work on your hardware and with your distro of choice when you test them. You might even have to test multiple distros (or find out why things don’t work and correct that yourself).
Sounds 100% like a dual-boot situation to me.
