MSI recently pushed a firmware update on my motherboard that somehow reset the device ID, so windows decided I wasn’t running genuine windows anymore.
I lived with the watermark for a few months, then kept running out of space on my old 256gb windows drive (all I could afford at the time) and I decided that instead of just migrating to larger drive and buying another copy of windows, I’d take the leap and just do it. It was unexpectedly painless.
My one concern was gaming, specifically helldivers, which has been pretty much the only thing I can play with my friends. Turns out, it just… runs… everything else… just… runs…
The last time I tried linux was like 10 years ago, and its definitely come a long way, at least with some of the more consumer level distros.
