Hey, I got a weird-ish question, I think. Have you ever installed SteamOS? With custom partitioning?
It was a little weird when I did it in I think 2016. (I've since removed it...) Valve doesn't even act like it's possible to not kill Windows when installing their distro. If not for so many games being Windows-only, I'd probably still be running it now, though.
