True. But anyone installing on a bare metal build should seriously consider installing Linux, today. The set of games that actually run simpler on Windows is getting thinner every year.

There's mostly fear driving the decision, and most people fear Linux more than they need to, and don't fear Microsoft's apathy toward their custom PC build outcomes as much as they should.

With all the license unlock bullshit, my last bare metal Windows install was a bigger pain in the ass than any of my recent bare metal Linux installs.
