    Took this crap off my computer and installed Fedora as my daily. If I need to run Windows, I’ll run it in a VM.

      When I originally switched, I kept an ultra clean windows 2000 VM going for a solid decade. Any time I needed it, I could install stuff, do the work, and then blow away the crud that always builds up with Windows. I would suggest using the oldest version of Windows you can practically use, de-bloating it, and taking vm snapshots.

      You could even firewall it using another VM or the host if you wanted. Put windows in jail, erase its memory, and cut it off from the outside world so it behaves, lol.

        I have yet to need Windows for anything and I switched when my WinXP machine decided booting was too difficult.
