Question for Linux people - I have heard issues with dual booting with Windows (IE Windows trying to fuck up the dual boot), but I don’t want to give up my ability to play games that might not be compatible with Proton.
Is it less of an issue if I dual boot using an entirely separate drive?
You can always dual boot and chose boot order in the bios menu. That’s a bulletproof method. That can only fail if windows fastboot make it difficult to get to the bios menu.
Not an issue that I’ve heard if you’ve got seperate drives. It’s also far easier to install as you don’t need to partition anything. Just choose the new drive during installation and it’ll wipe it and setup the filesystem and everything for you.
Get a seperate drive, Windows is increasingly greedy and likes to overtake your bootloader, especially on it’s frequent updates. There are also issues with how Windows encrypts your drive. Just occasionally expect to have to tell Windows to fuck off every so often. I just run one of these scripts when it happened on the computer I used to dual on.

Its essentially a non-issue with a separate drive

Also makes bitlocker and Tpm secured Luks encryption more straightforward if you don’t possibly incur one platforms bootloader before the other.
