Hello dual-boot brother.

Same.

I dual booted for about a month before I killed windows. Almost everything just works without it.

Yeah I got tired of the coin toss of if the update was gonna brick my PC or not

I have a laptop with dual boot just in case. Using two drives that are independent with Refined works really well.

Neither drive is aware of the other, and there is no worry whatever windows wants to do.

That brings back memories of my own days dual booting. I am so very thankful for Valve's contributions to Proton for gaming on Linux.

Yeah, that's not the case for me unfortunately.
