codecel signal :marseyqr: got a 1tb hdd connected to macshit (exfat drive), should i install windows or linux? or set up partitions with separate operating systems?

title, its one of my old ones from a shitty computer i ripped in half to take it. formatted to exfat so everything supports it, but what operating system do you recommend? usually just gonna use it for simple programming, file storage, and to access files i couldnt. im thinking windows and if i have enough space ill add linux because i dont wanna screw with wine to run exes. not sure though

What kind of "macshit"?

If it's a current M-series I wouldn't recommend running Linux yet and Windows is not supported at all.

ah shit it is :marseycorner: shouldve never bought this darn thing. the keys are flimsy as frick when trying to remove them and clean underneath, shitty loading, and the thing is a heater at this point. probably gonna just keep this for another year or two before switching to something like a lenovo and just buy external hard drives for space as needed. rdrama is an official apple hate website

By all accounts if it's a M-series machine it should run macOS great and the MBAs are passively cooled. The M1 or M2 are my go-to recommendation laptop for most people.

I'm not sure why you'd buy an Apple device expecting to run Linux or Windows...

I would recommend building or buying a Synology-style NAS instead of buying a bunch of tiny (1TB) drives and swapping between them.
