After dithering with dual boot for years I jumped ship to Linux only (LMDE) with their incessant reminders about moving to W11 from W10 popped up. Missing a few apps but fuk' em.

small brain move: install windows on a seperate disk to linux and then let your BIOS decide what it wants to boot, instead of relying on a unified boot loader

VM is even better. It prevents Windows updates from fucking up your real OS.

Nah, I just install minimal Win10 distro with updates disabled to single drive, and then disable the internet. Easy peasy.

That's what I do. Linux is primary, and I keep Windows around just in case. Haven't booted Windows in over a year.

Small brain move: install Windows as a guest on a Linux host. Rip out so much of it's guts it can't show any ads and barely works at all. Declare victory over the desecrated husk of Microsoft Windows.
