When I switched to linux I originally intended to dualboot but I messed up the partitioning and completely obliterated windows. Decided to just go with it and I never looked back.

I did that more than once hahaha. Hell, you guys are convincing me to jump the boat!

for me it was the opposite, I did a fresh install and -against all advice- installed linux before windows.

When a few months later a windows update dexided to fuck with and destroy grub again (and reinstall edge) I saw that as a sign to kick out windows.

From what I heard you have to use windows boot manager instead as windows just breaks grub whenever there's an update. It broke my Fedora before but I didn't get a chance to test it as I fully switched to nobara.
