I should do the same. Just remove the dual boot setup and stick with linux.

Good to know. Though with how flaky regular NTFS support is, I expect this to be worse still.

Many linux installers give you the option of using the free space in your Windows drive for a linux partition (Linux mint is one example). Then you would have what is called a dual boot setup. It means every time you start your computer, you can choose Linux or Windows.

Then you disable bitlocker in your windows partition, and you can access all the files there from linux.

*occasionally. But nothing beats the feeling of seeing a cool idea for a project and realizing you have all the parts needed.

A house full of old computers ought to smell better than one full of cats, anyway. I wonder if the power bill is cheaper than the cat food bill, though.
