    Ah shoot. I didn’t realize they don’t have that. I guess I will hafta keep a windows computer/partition around when I switch over fully.

    Or a VM is a good idea, I suppose—thank you!

      The VM way works really well and is easier to setup than a dual boot.

      In my experience, windows always wants to be alone on your system 😅

        My close friend told me

        NEVER INSTALL BOTH ON YOUR MAIN DRIVE IT WILL FUCK YOUR BOOTLOADER

        will windows on an external SSD work okay for games and stuff? I’m mega new to Linux.

          i’ve used windows and linux on separate drives in the same desktop for ages and it’s been working fine.

          I’m using windows mostly for games that aren’t available natively and don’t work via wine/proton

          It is easily done.

          I don’t do it because I like the separation - that drive is Linux, that is Windows. That’s just me
