Probably not, just trying to save the guy a few bucks. Try some games one at a time that do fit, and rely on protondb for the ones that don’t. Then decide to move over and wipe windows.

They sell 250 on 256 and 500 on 512, holding back the 6/12 gigs for wear leveling and other NAND management functions. At least that’s what I understand.

Lots of mention of dual booting- I recommend getting an e-waste tier 256gb SATA SSD for your first Linux install if you just want to try it out.

No one wants those old drives because they are small but they are plenty quick and you only need 15 to 30 gigs for most distros.
