Love Linux, but had to wipe it from my system due to frustrating incompatibilities with my NVidia setup. I will pick Mint back up when I get another PC though, with the goal being to keep a Windows setup only for gaming and nothing else.
Dualbooting with nvidia atm. Using other drivers than the nvdia one in linux. Most things work except a few games. Highly recommend it
I waited to install Linux until I put in another drive to dual-boot, and proceeded to never go back to my windows install.
I was surprised at how easy it was to get things running, and any difficulties I had were mostly the result of me assuming things were more complicated than they are and not looking for simple solutions.
Word.
I ran a dual boot setup for about six weeks, but the performance issues and bugs just got too annoying over time.
I'm planning to get a new PC later this year for gaming. Just gonna wipe windows off this one and make it my "all other stuff" system when that time comes. :)
