Watching a Youtube video of dual booting Ubuntu for a Windows user - the steps don't seem so hard - so I think I will wait until release 1.9 comes out and how performance is reported on large core rigs on Ubuntu versus Windows.
If I were to dual boot I would likely add a new drive to be the boot drive then its see if you can add a boot manager to a PCIE x4 NVME drive and have the rig boot from that - and likely switch Hyperthreading back on when I play with Linux.
Seems like lot of effort to get back 30% - 70% of performance that is lost since release 1.9.8.1 to release 1.8.9.3 for reasons Jaun as CEO of the PI simply can't get to the bottom of!
But yes on the upside - these systems are still very fast!
