Good idea. And if @goofsqueak@lemdro.id goes for it and is concerned about the physical drive with Windows potentially tempering with the Linux install or reporting back to MS or whomever else whatever it finds, goofsqueak could unplug the Linux drive before plugging the Windows one, so no physical access to the main system is given to Windows.
And to goofsqueak, any problem with Fortnite on the Switch? I don't play games as services so I wouldn't know, and at least from my experience with offline games, if the problem are graphics, Fortnite from the little I know of, I don't think would lose much in terms of quality.
answer to the bottom question: the switches graphics sucks bum, yes, but the performance is also garbage. and paired with the joycons (i dont have a pro controller but can easily fix that) makes the experince horrible. i dont really remember how bad the performance was but i know it was bad. like imagine fortnite but compressed to shit, basically that
Fortnite on the Switch 2 looks like a normal game and has mouse support.
sounds nice but i can NOT afford a switch 2 🥹
Windows cant read ext4 or btrfs so I doubt they care enough to be sneakily trying to identify and read data on another partion.
When everything's data that could be harvested for who knows what nefarious reasons, I'd rather not risk their "can't read" to be actually "pretend not to be able to", specially coming from Microsoft.
Its not all nefarious. The bad is usually a byproduct of normal business usecase. Here there is little reason to hide ext4 and btrfs support just to spy on a few linux boxes.
