I'm close. I was looking at SSDs the other day so that I can install Pop!_OS and dual boot. I used to be at least somewhat interested in the latest version of Windows but I have zero interest in 11.
The future is running Windows in a VM under Linux for the few Windows programs you need. No need to reboot into Windows except for very few exceptions.
This was totally my plan for when I inevitably switch to Linux as a daily driver.
It's a solid plan if you just wanna play older PC games and don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get them to install using a program like WINE.
Yeah, and if you need to use Windows-only external hardware, just pass through a couple of USB ports. I thinks it's the ultimate solution.
