So they are getting rid of digital downloads. Terrible news

    If only they could create such an app for Linux. That way I could just ditch my windows virtual machine and not try to create a macOS virtual machine🙏

      Ah shoot. I didn’t realize they don’t have that. I guess I will hafta keep a windows computer/partition around when I switch over fully.

      Or a VM is a good idea, I suppose—thank you!

        The VM way works really well and is easier to setup than a dual boot.

        In my experience, windows always wants to be alone on your system 😅

          My close friend told me

          NEVER INSTALL BOTH ON YOUR MAIN DRIVE IT WILL FUCK YOUR BOOTLOADER

          will windows on an external SSD work okay for games and stuff? I’m mega new to Linux.

            It is easily done.

            I don’t do it because I like the separation - that drive is Linux, that is Windows. That’s just me

            i’ve used windows and linux on separate drives in the same desktop for ages and it’s been working fine.

            I’m using windows mostly for games that aren’t available natively and don’t work via wine/proton

        Thanks for the answer. It’s still a bit too complicated for me as it involves way more work than just setting up a windows VM in Gnome boxes.

        I might still look at some video tutorials if I can find some 👍

          It’s not so difficult if you don’t need to spoof a serial number. It does take hours of just waiting for it to install, though.
