    From a gaming perspective: Get a new drive (NVMe/whatever your OS is on), drop Nobara on it, be done, have the option to switch back without a hassle if you need it for some special tasks or games.

    And after 6 months find out that you never actually did that so delete windows/migrate it into a VM and enjoy the extra game drive you won.

    That’s at least what worked for 90% of my friends meanwhile.

    The only person I know who routinely uses windows is myself- and I only do so,because I need certain MS Office stuff that I need for work. (And no,libre or Softmaker,etc. are sadly not a replacement for that. )

      This is where I am at. As of last week I banned Windows to the deeps of a vm and went all in on Linux (Mint, in this case). Dual bootet for a couple of months but since I never used Windows outside of a vm anyway…

      Havnt had a single issue with games so far, besides some very minor hick ups that were resolved easily. Than again, im lucky that the game so play have been supported so far.

        No,sadly not, but I have a very special use case - user Information based access to files of external customers. They basically require a shitload of Azure,etc. Already takes a lot of work on Win, it is simply impossible with Wine. But again: A very special use case that even most Enterprise users won’t need.

      After my experience with nobara blowing up after a major update I’d probably go for bazzite instead
