One m.2 ssd loaded with ubuntu
Ubuntu is free and there are versions which can be run straight off of a USB stick. So, you can use your m.2 as storage and/or for apps. As for Linux, I think that soon we'll see a huge shift away from Windows. Since the integration of CoPilot and numerous avenues for Windows to spy on its users, people are saying no to keeping their Windows. I run Windows and Linux as I need Windows for some apps, but I do not use Windows for when doing important tasks.
