Sadly I have to waste 512gb of ssd for windows because oculus rift cv1 drivers are not finished and haven't been worked on for a year I think...

Naw, separate machines. One for VR, opening my office Access files, the Adobe suite. And another one with Linux I use for most everything. Dual booting is sometimes problematic.

I've got it on a vm for work stuff and shit, but raw metal is only for unix based OS ;)

Change to Linux boot loader grub and two disks... Your old piece of shit disk for windows. The good stuff for Linux. Never look back.... Unless your aunty needs help getting another virus or whatever windows offers.

I refuse. I flat out will not. Is there a couple games I'm missing sorely? Yes. Has the devil been whispering, "Come on... just a hundred gigs for that one game... you'll only have to boot it when you play..." Also yes. But I refuse.

Not today, satan.

I wish I could delete that partition for good, but my computer grqphics professor forces me to write code for DirectX instead of Vulkan.

That's why you don't dual boot.

Linux all the way.

I've been thinking about keeping a running windows on the side once I switch my "gaming" system. There's two things that won't work well (or at all) on Linux: fully PC-tethered wireless SteamVR with my current hardware (HTC Cosmos Elite), and a ripping software.

I might keep a small windows running for VR (although I'm currently looking into trashing the hardware if a good alternative shows up). For the ripping software, I'll just stitch a script that uses existing open source software to do roughly the same thing.

And I might just get a small box, like a 200something computer with only Steam and the wireless card, to remote play VR through it, if that's an option.

Bye bye windows.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache

  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
