I was too afraid of windows corrupting my linux if I ever booted it. So I effectively just had a Linux machine with half half the disk space. Never had a problem with it though.

That’s basically my story, as well.

I eventually had a close call where Windows almost booted by misclick - and it scared me it was going to mess up the Linux install I actually use - and I decided the stress wasn’t worth it, to me, to keep a fallback copy of Windows around.
