Windows 10 forced an update on me yesterday in the middle of a game. After 30 minutes of it being stuck at 80% I said fuck it and rebooted. It's time to pull the trigger and get off of dual booting.

When I switched to Mint, I waited 1.5 months to see if I would ever boot back into my Windows partition. I did exactly one time and it wasn't even worth it, so I was pretty happy when I got to nuke that partition and get my storage space back haha.
