Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to switch my main computer back to Linux Mint after using Windows 10 exclusively for the past few years due to work. I'm excited to return to the Linux world, but I have several questions:
- Should I convert my non-OS drives from NTFS to ext4? I'm not dual booting anymore, so I'm wondering if there are performance advantages to this change.
- My PC has 64GB of RAM. Is it necessary to set up a swap partition if I have that much memory? I've heard that swap acts somewhat like a cache or page file in Windows.
- For VR enthusiasts, what's the current status of using something like the Pico 4 or Quest 3 on Linux?
- Lastly, for those using an Nvidia GPU, has the quality and ease of use of the Nvidia drivers improved since I last used Linux?
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Yes, switching your drives to ext4 is generally a good idea. Ext4 performs better for Linux workloads compared to NTFS, especially since you're no longer dual booting with Windows.
Legend. Thanks for that!
