Congrats on making the leap!
Just out of curiosity, are you willing to share some/all of the things you're still having to resort to dual-booting with Debian for?

not dual booting, they are running on completely different computers. But my main problem is a program called Hamachi not working correctly. I use it for "lan"-gaming with friends on games with dead servers.
Hamachi could be replaced with your own WireGuard VPN server, just your friends would have to set up their clients.
Tailscale could also work, if they're looking for something with a little less setup difficulty. I haven't used it myself as I'm happy to tinker with WireGuard, but it's supposed to be quite easy to get going and I think the free tier isn't too restrictive.
personally love zerotier, all of the above work well though from my experience!
I actually tried tailscale but one of my friends apparently already has ti and coudlnt figure out how to connect to another network without spending more money
Hamachi
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time
I bet OP is listening to their mp3 collection using Winamp while playing.
I was using Winamp right up until I made the switch to Linux last year.
Fortunately, Audacious can use Winamp skins, too, so I've still got that Winamp 2.x classic look going.
More like plugging in my external dvd drive to my laptop to listen to my burned mixes with cava on my desktop
As God intended!
Use zerotier one, it's much better.
Definitely try Zerotier
Welcome to the club, it's so much better over here :)
Glad to hear another success story of someone who dropped Windows.
I dropped Windows on all of my machines over a month ago. My 2 desktops and 1 laptop I own are on Arch. I can't fully escape Windows completely due to music production software I use due to lack of support for the hardware on Linux. (Thanks Line6...) So I run a Windows VM in QEMU with USB passthrough, but with no network access.
I wrote an alias to count days its been since I switched to Linux full time.
It wasn't a difficult switch for me. Even with the learning curve. I actually enjoy the tinkering and learning aspect.
Welcome! I made the switch a little over a year ago and have been loving it. Honestly, it is such a breath of fresh air. I do hate my job more every day now though, since I am stuck on Windows there... lol
While I only have one PC I did write over my old Windows drive about a month ago, I haven't loaded into Windows 10 in nearly a year and I fear how many updates it would have forced upon me at once...
Congrats, it's a great feeling to finally be free :) I was wary when I did it too, but I knew I literally never booted into Windows anyway. And I never regretted it afterwards. Never went back.
