by the way, the only reason you need a dedicated PC is because ChimeraOS reformats the existing hard drive during the setup process. you could in theory set up another OS on another hard drive after the fact, but if you're already using one pc for everything... it's not the best choice.
Ah, most of the games on my gaming rig are on external drives, with a few big games on a a dedicated M2 drive. I don't have any games on the C:, just some downloaded stuff, user folder, and Windows -- I'm assuming it's the C: that gets formatted?
Also, do you know if Nvidia drivers are supported in ChimeraOS?
most likely, assuming it's the primary drive. For safety, I would move any files you can't afford to lose to another drive (or even get a fresh drive if you want to be paranoid, lol), and disconnect all other drives while installing it.
Keep in mind, however, that the computer in question will effectively be gaming only while you have ChimeraOS installed. Not trying to discourage you, I just don't want to leave you with a bad taste in your mouth by not warning you what to expect.

I believe there's a way, but I've never used it with an nvidia GPU, so I can't say for sure.
btw, here's the website so you don't have to wait for me to get back to you. I don't mind answering your questions, in fact I'm happy to help however I can, but I'm sometimes slow to respond, and I've only dabbled with it a little bit (I have it on an all-in--one PC that has some bad caps so it only works every six months or so for a few days at a time, lol)
ChimeraOS is pretty good if you have a dedicated gaming PC... it's basically steamOS plus some emulators
Ah really? I need to look into that, thanks for the heads-up!
you're welcome =) glad I could help.
