Yeah. Dual-booting in 2026 is retarded. Probably has an infection string of downs.

>>107823312
I haven't booted my Windows install in like 2 years now. Just installing the updates is probably going to take like 50 hours the next time I do boot it. Maybe I should just nuke it.

just have a virtual machine with GPU-passthrough. you *do* know how to do that, you're no pleb... right?

I have a nigger GPU (Nvidia) last time I tried this it completely shat the bed so I NEEDED to have a windows boot for my multiplayer games.

>multiplayer games
oh, don't bother anyways. the anti-cheat jew won't let you play inside a VM.
>>
>>107824530
I'm going to be honest with you. All the non anti-cheat games can already be played in Linux, and I actually do so already so I wonder why you need pass through to a VM for games that can be ran through a Proton layer on Linux.

First time I tried linux I also used a dual boot with windows but made the mistake of making windows the first boot entry and as a result almost never saw linux.
Second time was another dual boot setup, but with the intention of fully using linux instead of just trying it out. Just wanted to keep windows as a backup while making the switch. Set linux as the first boot option and never saw windows again. It's still there but I might as well nuke it and reclaim the 2TB.
It's a good option for those who aren't yet 100% sure about all their use cases working out.

>I have a double-boot with Windows when I need to wash my hands
What did he mean by this?
>>
>>107823312
one of the friendly features of linux is that grub fucks up microsoft uefi partition after an update or something.

so he double boots for a while until he can't any longer :D

>with GPU-passthrough
Why? I only need a Windows VM for my tax software that I run once a year.
>>
>>107823312
I do unfortunately need to use windows in a few months because I have to use guardian browser to sit a med test. Its fucking stupid that so much money is wasted on this crap instead of just having the test in person.

The 2010s called, they want you back.
