I use like less than a tbsp of coffee creamer for coffee.
The flavour is so artificial that any more will make me feel sick. It just tastes like soap.
Many coffee creamers also taste terrible, I’m very surprised at the popularity of them overall.
I get a specific kind that I can bear and I put a very small amount and it works for me. I don’t like milk. Black coffee is okay but I do like it with creamer more.
You should just test run it from a bootable usb.
Install steam. Mount your NTFS drive which contains your windows games. If you have sims on steam use steam. If not take a look at lutris before doing any of the above.
Your experiment ends when you’ve tested all games you want to play.
Now: You cannot use NTFS (windows) drive for games, although you did it in the experiment long extended usage is discouraged.
So you will need to find a way to transfer your games to a different formatted drive. (ext4, btrfs for example)
If you don’t need that advice you will eventually run into frustrating issues.
I specifically said this advice because dual booting windows with Linux is a terrible idea.
Although you are right, if you USB read/write is slow it will be a sluggish experience.
