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’m in the process of (mostly) ditching Windows myself. I’m putting Linux on a separate drive, and then I’m going to upgrade my Windows 10 installation to Windows 11. My plan is to start everything on Linux, and only switch to Windows when I need something that I can’t make work on Linux.

    This will also give me a fallback in case I break something in Linux so I have a working PC to use while I figure out what I did wrong.
