Is it possible but you could run into issues. You can shrink that drive and leave space for Linux there, but be careful while setting up your partitions so you don't accidentally erase your games data.

Its always easier to use a whole drive so you don't have to worry about partitions. I've never done what you're describing but it shouldn't be much of a hassle.

Does it have security vulnerabilities?

I've read that some people have problems, but I used to dual boot (now I keep each os in a separate hard drive) without issues. Is a really straight forward process but if you get issues the online community is amazing and there are tons of docs (and reddit threads, some of them are deleted now or moved to Lemmy).

Linux is great! I started dual booting windows and Linux Mint, tried a lot of distros (this is called distro hopping) all Ubuntu based while using primarily Windows. After a while I got tired with windows and felt more comfortable with Linux, so I wiped Windows and installed Fedora Workstation (there's a community for ASUS gaming laptops that have a guide for Fedora).

If you just want to get a feel of Linux, you can also run it in a Virtual Box, setting it to full screen makes you feel like you are using Linux, but obviously that comes with limitations.

I totally agree with you, but googling 'dark star space' or 'dark star science' you get what you're looking for.

When I'm installing F-Droid I get a security alert about it being developed for a previous android version and that it doesn't include latest privacy updates. How legit is that? I'm downloading the apk throught their official website https://f-droid.org/

Zoom with my eyes! I love birding, having prismatic eyes would be neat.

Are you willing to try another distro?

Afaik Debian doesn't support proprietary drivers out of the box.

Maybe you have a better experience with other distros as Fedora (or its daughter Nobara) or Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu but imo better).

EDIT: What are your spec? I'm sure the problems you're experiencing are related to your hardware and their drivers being closed source.

Yes you're right! We're financing the ruling class in every way imaginable.

I kept having troubles with Windows 11 and I was also fed up with all the Microsoft crap and how they push they're Cortana, Edge or other bullshit.

Switching has been amazing. Yes, also confusng at first, but you'll learn a lot and rn I'm happier than ever with my machine.

I'm running Fedora Workstation.

Not your taxes but your surplus value.
