I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.

    Next time you’re booted into Linux, try the network drive thing again, maybe it’ll work better. I’m guessing you missed a checkbox or something to reconnect after a reboot.

    Perhaps…

    Problem is I don’t have Linux installed anymore. After my switching attempt catastrophically failed last time, I (reluctantly) reinstalled Windows.

    WireGuard is just the built-in Linux kernel support for VPNs. The main alternative is OpenVPN, which runs as a regular program and generally has worse performance and VPN providers can be finicky about which clients work properly.

    So if a VPN service offers WireGuard, prefer that and things will probably work more smoothly.

    Oh! That makes sense. I can’t remember if ProtonVPN offers WireGuard support for Linux… I know it does for Windows.
