    Doesn’t surprise me one iota. This is why I will be abandoning Windows next year and moving to Linux and doing the same for my parents.

      Same boat! I’ve switched over two of my lesser used devices to Mint already (an old surface tablet and my work laptop), only hesitation is with my gaming machine. Everything has been set up just how I like it so I’m not eager to start from scratch there but once I’m confident and comfortable on my work laptop I’ll make the switch there too

        While dual booting into Pop, I can see my Windows SSD and all of its contents. It might make testing a little easier for you!

          Running games from the NTFS partition won’t work very well/at all, you’ll want to redownload those to a Linux filesystem.

            I was speaking more of any of their applications they were wanting to run through Wine for testing purposes.

            I’ve been running games from an NTFS drive through Lutris with no issues.

      I’m so mad that I’m going to call customer support, they’re going to look at my social security, phone number, password, whatever in recall, and I don’t have a choice except to not interact with other people on computers.
