I made the switch in 2010.

I dual booted for a while, one day I realised that I hadn’t booted into windows for 3 months. At that point I reinstalled, no more dual booting. I haven’t looked back.

I keep a windows VM, currently has Win10 installed, I haven’t had to use it in about 3 years.

My advice is, keep dual booting. One day you’ll realise that booting into windows feels like a chore, you haven’t done it in months, so why keep it around…

Agreed thieves are terrible.

Not many better options if you are getting robbed though.

Pretty much; then get the police to deal with it.
