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

At the start I dual booted but after some months I realised everything I could do on Windows I could do on GNU/Linux, only my computer would run faster on the later and actually did what I meant. I tried to battle Windows to configure it how I wanted and it was a real pain in the rear end. My advice is go for the full switch and nuke Windows. I never looked back since.
