I'm super interested in running Linux, do you think it's okay to just dump windows at once and go full Linux, or it's better to dual boot for a while? I've read that dual-booting can be a bit finicky, but it's been a while since I looked into it
When I switched to linux I originally intended to dualboot but I messed up the partitioning and completely obliterated windows. Decided to just go with it and I never looked back.
for me it was the opposite, I did a fresh install and -against all advice- installed linux before windows.
When a few months later a windows update dexided to fuck with and destroy grub again (and reinstall edge) I saw that as a sign to kick out windows.
From what I heard you have to use windows boot manager instead as windows just breaks grub whenever there's an update. It broke my Fedora before but I didn't get a chance to test it as I fully switched to nobara.
