I have just built my new rig after 40 yrs of Off-the-Shelf" stuff with the purpose of minimzing Microsoft use and going Linux/VR
New Hardware: Asus B550-F. 5800X3D, 6950xt/16g, DDR4-3600/16g, SSD#1-WDblk sn770 2TB (fast PCI-gen4 slot), ssd#2-Samsung 970 EVO-plus-2TB (PCI-3slot), SSD#3-WDblu-sata 1TB, Drive#4-WD50-sata HDD 500mb(from my old PC)and Reverb G2 VR headset
The Samsung EVO currently contains all of my XP11(which is Win10). The WD 2tb SSD which I intended to use for XP12 is empty along with reformatted the other 2 drives.
MY OPTIONS:1.Put Linux and XP12 on SSD#1(fast PCI-4slot) This includes copying XP11 scenery from Samsung???
2. Put Linux OS on SSD#3-WDsata-which is a slower PCI-gen3 slot and SimHeaven,OrbX.UHD Spain on a dedicated (scenery only) Drive
*********NOTE: I intend to keep XP11 (Win10) due to the volume of aircraft/plugins I enjoy today**************
As an Aside, I have seen a HUGE increase in FPS (40+) from XP12 DEMO from my old i-7/2060 laptop rig
