Valve have put up the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for December 2024, which shows that the Linux share ended 2024 in December with a nice boost.

I made the switch to a dual boot just before 2024. And the share of games I play exclusively on Linux is growing.

Gonna reinstall my windows 10 side with an enterprise LTSC. Hopefully by the time the security updates and compatibility runs out, proton will be able to tackle the remainder of games I want on linux, and can purely run linux.

Hope you installed on two separate drives, windows doesn’t tend to play nice when reinstalling

Yeah, that’s part of why I’m reinstalling as well. I had everything all on one SSD, and I needed more space for my Linux partition, but the windows partition is blocking any resizing.

I switched to dual boot in 2024. As soon as I was comfortable in Linux, I stopped using Windows completely. I still have the Windows install on a separate drive, but it sees no use.

This has almost been my experience. My windows partition sees almost no use. But not zero. I still currently use it for fusion360 and a few games.

Eventually I’ll be at a point where I can feel confident permanently deleting the windows partition.

I was also using Fusion 360 in Windows, but I recently learned FreeCAD. The new version of it is great.

I gave freecad two separate tries and just couldn’t get it to cooperate. Maybe I’ll give it another go in a year or two/the next major update.
