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

I tried hard to keep 2 NVME drives for dual boot, but either of the OS bootloaders kept getting destroyed in the process and in the end I just removed the Windows NVME drive. That's what I recommend to all newcomers, remove your windows drive and use the system with Linux exclusively (and VM if you need it).
