Comment on How could you do this to me?
Anissem@lemmy.ml 4 months agoAhh ok. Maybe a dual boot on my PC is a better option. I’ve just always had bad luck with dual booting. I always seem to mess it up
highly recommend installing linux on a separate ssd and removing the windows one for installation.
Also your steam library most probably won’t like being loaded from the windows drive, because it is formatted to ntfs, which isn’t perfectly supported on linux.
I have some spare SSDs from an old build, would that be a better option? Right now I have two name drives right on the mobo for windows and games.
That’s a little more of a pain to remove/disable them, but yes the old SSD will work fine for Linux. Windows does not respect the user or their experience so if you dual boot MS will clobber your Linux boot loader at some point. Keeping thing physically separate allows you to retain control.
The only games that deffo have issues in Linux are titles with anti-cheat built in.

Windows will fuck up that pc you have running a linux partition so fast. Its possible you’re not doing anything wrong, aside from using windows.
