      Guess what, I'm doing this. Switched from the internal Hyper-V viewer to X11-forward and xrdp for desktops, it's just way, way faster. For headless installs, well, it's just SSH.

      That's just sad.

        So it is sounding like my best bet is probably dual booting, with the bare metal Windows being just for video games and can be relegated to the spinner, rather than the SSD. Just have Linux Mint 18 on the SSD. And use either Windows 10 in a Virtual Box VM on top of Linux when I need that (rarely, if ever) or just remote into an RDS instance.

          The Linux system gets the use 99% of the time and needs priority as to performance and what not. The Windows install is just for gaming and is not even my main gaming machine. Just a secondary one. And I've lived with zero Windows access for most of a year, not a big deal.
