I got most of my games run pretty good now with the help of Steam compatibility and Wine now what should I do moving forward, win11 is a strong no go because I heard rumors about Microsoft locking bootloader with software update and I can’t stand fucking copilot/edge, should I wait until EOL or do it now? I’m pretty noob when it comes to Linux but I know what distro I’ll use (Fedora+KDE). Sorry for bad grammar English is not my first language

Just a warning if you leave your Windows partition mounted: By default it’s 777 (Linuxese for world-readable, world-writable). If a user gains command execution they can nuke your Windows install without being root, which was my final reason to switch to only Linux.
