Depends how familiar with disk partitioning you already are, but it’s generally not that bad. Shrink your windows partition, create a new ntfs partition in windows, and install Linux. Pretty much every major installer has an option to preserve Windows.
I guess this is the thing with Linux, at various levels it skews DIY and more time intense. And honestly the market seems to be bifurcating between that and the opposite extreme: Android/iOS, which many use as their main PCs now.
Consider this: why do you have 2TB of games installed?
IDK what your gaming habits are, but I find myself bouncing between a few at most, 1 big AAA at most, and found keeping the rest… to be blunt, data hoarding.
I suppose the only exception is modded setups, it even then I always redo them anyway since the base games, modding frameworks and mods get updated over time.
You can redownload what you use, progressively.
This is not always true. I measured that the Proton version of Rimworld and Stellaris, for instance, are massively faster than the Linux one.
What I do is dual boot Windows/Linux and have them share big NTFS partitions for bulk data they can both access.
You could try getting autocad running?

But TBH, neutering Windows down to a “software tool” to the point I could wipe it and not really care, and spending most of my desktop time on Linux, has been wonderful.
Depends what you do on your computer.
Macs are amazing and unique and, at the same time, extremely infuriating and very expensive.
Older politicians act like it’s 1950, and that algorithmic social media/personality TV isn’t completely dominating how people think en masse.
In his world, Trump would have been pushed out. He just can’t grasp that that so many are drinking the kool-aid and that there’s too much support for whoever’s left to defy it.
Not that most of America will know :/
I’m at the point where printers, bad WiFi, local file sharing/casting, crash recovery, GPU compute, even some driver issues, stuff like that just works in Linux (CachyOS specifically), but doesn’t in Windows.
Windows is getting progressively worse.
I still dual boot a very-stripped Windows for games, HDR stuff, and anything that requires a weird driver (like phone tethering), but man, Microsoft just keeps removing or hiding things I use to make Windows sorta functional.
Ahh. I missed dead space, but that seems right.
I know that part, but is the screenshot from a game or something?
Forgive me, what’s the meme referencing?
I would set up simple linking/summarizing, but nothing more. Suck users away, make them click the link to read, and if you get shadowbanned for it then you haven’t wasted much effort.
Yep.
I feel the fediverse should lean towards “overly aggressive” when combatting spam, before it takes root, even with all the negatives that brings.
The only concrete assertion I see in this linked wall of text is:
Ukrainians are "dominated in their thinking by neo-Nazis”
…Which is false. And tremendously ironic in the current political climate in the EU/US.
The rest is just a whole bunch of whataboutism about how the US is a pompous, warmongering ass, which is true. But it’s no excuse.
Nvidia graphics support.
Their money is in headless systems, which TBF are much less problematic with Nvidia. Anything CUDA is first class on Linux with Windows as an afterthought.
Even worse, TPS. Days chug along in Linux compared to Windows, along the lines of a 1.5x slowdown.
FPS spikes are much worse, too. I tested both extensively on the same saves, using their native performance tools (the perf commands in stellaris and DPA in Rimworld).
