@seanbala @filen @fedora @gnome My main worry is that removing it will cause some problem with my laptop that me, as someone with limited tech skills, can't fix!
Using #LinuxMint and #Ubuntu. For files been using @syncthing and just keeping things locally.
@ncoca @seanbala @filen @fedora @gnome @syncthing Usually removing wouldn't cause problems, but if it does, it's going to be highly annoying because you can't boot into Linux to fix things. So before doing anything, I'd make sure I have a live usb stick ready to boot, just in case.
But rather than that: as long as you don't need the disk space, I wouldn't worry too much about it and just remove it next time you reinstall.
@ncoca @seanbala @filen @fedora @gnome @syncthing Another thing, not sure if this is still a problem: some hardware manufacturers used to only have windows tools to run firmware updates. So if some part of your hardware setup requires those, it might be difficult to update that part from within Linux. That said, I find the firmware updates on Linux have improved a lot over the past decade.
