After failing to upgrade to windows 11 three times in a row I am seriously considering just wiping this laptop and booting linux

@lieberal you can always do the reverse WSL (run windows vm inside linux host) if you need the windows apps wine doesn't support. Not sure where I found it but there's even now containerizarion tooling to make that easier/seamless though I haven't personally tried it with #winapps or the potentially easier #winboat . If you try one of those let me know, its on my todo list to explore.
