Lies. You wouldn't buy a PC with Nvidia nonsense just to install Linux.
- Nvidia used to be the easy way to go. The open-source Nouveau driver lacked functionality. The official Nvidia driver was proprietary but worked well. (Though the Radeon drivers were proprietary at the time too. And Intel graphics hardware was always poor.)
  
  Wild how things turn around.
  
  Serious question because I'm in the same situation of switching to LM, having a nvidia GPU. Your talking in past tense.. so nouveau drivers are actually useful now? Talking HDR, Gsync and DLSS
Windows 9 was peak. Nobody hated Windows 9
- by that logic nobody loved windows 9 either
  
  Win9 was the shit. Literally a flawless release. No vulnerabilities, no bugs, surprisingly little spyware. I don't think I ever had a BSOD with 9.
  
  And for a reason
The power of Ventoy cannot contain Windows
- which is ironic because afaik ventoy is the only way to make a windows installer from linux
  
  huh??
  you can just flash/dd the iso directly, no need for ventoy
  
  It's certainly not, there are other iso to USB drive tools for Linux. But the only way to make a Windows To Go USB from Linux is with rufus on a Windows VM with USB passthrough.
  
  Akchually, before ventoy was created everyone used this to do what you're talking about https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB
Can someone help me know what the linux distribution this symbol is?
- Linux Mint. I made the logo seem worn down as to indicate that the USB has been used a lot.
Why would you preinstall windows 11
- Manufacturers install Windows as the default OS. And it's safe to assume that a modern gaming PC would have W11 pre-installed.
  
  And this is why we build own pcs
  
  Unless you install Windows it shouldn't be preinstalled
