Oh yeah, I’ll throw Windows on the spare drive if I ever need it, although I kinda doubt it. (I was able to install my 3D modeling software and slicers easier than it is on Windows, lmao.) Only reason I did it this convoluted way was due to wanting to quickly test Bazzite before RMA’ing my GPU, and Bazzite’s live session can’t run games. But once I confirmed that and backed up my files, I wanted to wipe my primary drive because it’s a much faster NVMe, and I will never let a Windows partition touch any drive that also have a Linux partition, been burned doing that in the past.
Understandable. I think these days it’s not such a big problem as long as you set it up correctly, although it’s a bit of a convoluted process and it’s not something that I’d recommend for people who aren’t at least moderately tech savvy.
I have a handheld that runs dual-boot Bazzite and Windows, with a large shared partition between them where my games are stored. Would have been nice to not have Windows lurking ominously on the same drive, threatening to screw everything up, but it hasn’t caused any problems (yet.) But I can understand why a handheld isn’t gonna have two NVMe slots so I’ll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
