Its slightly slower to first load and you're only using it to play one game which loads into ram anyway. There is no reason not to.

I think it's been quite awhile since you've used an OS on spinning rust. It's not a great time.

I have a PC in my house where the SSD has linux and windows is on the harddrive. It only boots for league of legends and its fine.

I'm sure it has no problem running the game from Windows XP days.

The OS, unlike the game, is constantly running. It's not a slight difference.

A person running in this configuration can often look forward to stuttering, which makes for a wonderful time.

You're hilariously making out a configuration from a lifetime ago to work nearly as well.

Fortnite and an OS on a hard drive is going to be a very bad time.

What a strange thing to be contrarian aboot. It's almost like you're defending storage prices.
