Well I looked and as I feared , when I built the current machine I put my W11 install on a portion on the same physical M2 drive as my games drive , just different drive letters.
If I do this it will be more as an experiment than anything. I only have MS because games. They are getting more and more up our asses with AI shit. I saw today that they are calling Office Copilot 365 office or someshit.

I'm not opposed to starting from scratch but I do have other things I'd rather do. Guess I'll think about it more. Also looked, last 2TB drive I bought was for my NAS (WD RED) and it's not $75 more than when I bought them last year. I wouldn't need a NAS rated drive but just goes to show you how silly things are getting.

Are you in a spot with shitty Internet or something? I can't imagine having to install games in Linux being a deal breaker. I usually only keep a couple games installed though

nah i'm on fiber 1g up/dn. Think with prices being so stupid I'm going to move around some stuff off one of my 2TB M2 drives and try it. Not the end of the world.

Linux Steam gets VERY confused if it finds windows steam folders. Best to keep linux steam away from them.

Even if it appears to work, sometimes randomly it will redownload an entire game for no particular reason. I had it do this with me a few times back when I had basically 2 tin cans and some string for an internet connexion and it was super painful.

For me I only have windows for VRChat. If I could get my old oculus to work on linux I could ditch windows entirely. I only have a 256 gig drive for windows but I could really use that extra space.
