So I sort of did the half measure with my #endof10 conundrum, and kept the #windows10 install (air gapped) on my 2015 #asus laptop and made it a #dualboot with #ubuntu. The main plan is to keep it for ripping my DVD collection to then drop on my #plex server, as well as basic stuff when I want a normal sized laptop to work on instead of my little #gpdwinmax.

I got a bit distracted when I saw #openra within the app store. I even got the ISOs for the original #redalert games so I could use the music and cutscenes. #eagames , don't @ me since I have the re-released discs AND #commandandconquer The First Decade.

I may only keep the Windows 10 install for certain old PC games that I still have physical discs for, since it has no GPU it can mainly only run old stuff anyways. Unless I can find a way to run it on the Ubuntu side? Or maybe I need to distro hop, assuming i can keep a good DVD ripping option? Or run some kind of Windows 10 #vm within it? At least it's no longer an internet-connected EOS OS.

Now, what to do with that previously mentioned GPD Win Max 2021? It seems like #linux compatability with the hardware may not be great, so maybe the air gapped method is going to be the best course of action?

I just want an excuse to kill off #windows from all my home stuff forever. Easier said than done...
