NL has supposedly cracked down on the tax loophole which made these attractive to b entrepreneurs (something about imported vehicles), so hopefully we start seeing less of them over time.

375ml pint? Confused European noises

Right that sounds reasonable then. Switching boot order is a piece of cake and the Linux drive would be the only 128gb one in the whole array (I have a lot of drives, including a setup with stablebit drivepool, will that work?). After I'm done with this current gig in a couple days I should have a small window of free time, maybe I'll finally get to it!

Caveat number 3 is the reason I'm still on windows, I take it that's still not an option then.

Yeah is that completely safe? I'm really tempted to try out Mint and I have an old M2 from my previous machine I could format and use for it. The PC is my work/editing station though so can't afford any risk. I can't really make the switch since I'm still dependent on LR+PS (Adobe...) but most of my other software should work, and I've just always wanted to get into Linux but not sure if it'll actually benefit me and my work or if it's just gonna cause me even more hassle than windows currently does.

I'm familiar with messing around in the BIOS, changing boot priority and formatting stuff and whatnot.

Gestapo shit.

That, and the inevitable bureaucratic nightmare that awaits for standardising across makes and updating the infrastructure.

Yeah not to sound negative but European tech generally sucks ass. The Netherlands and Nordic countries are maybe a bit of an exception but they're still using fax in countries like France and Germany...
