Why not save a step, fuck bitlocker, and use veracrypt to encrypt your drive in the first place?

Why not save a step and don't install Windows in the first place.

If you can have two computers one should always be Linux. But gaming and certain software just does not work on Linux yet sadly. Hoping steam can turn that around.

Made the switch about a year ago. Every game i wanted to play worked just fine. I suppose it depends on the games you play, but to say it just does not work is plainly just wrong

Majority of anti-cheats do not work or not added to linux versions. So things like BF6, GTAO, etc do not work on linux sadly. If they did I would already be on linux full time.

That is a option but it's performance is bad and you need at least fifteen mix character password every time you boot. If you game you need to use bitlocker sadly or load times dive hard. Having a second drive in full Veracrypt is fine for things like basic documents but not to game on.
