dual booting is annoying because windows has a habit of clobbering grub
I had a dual boot setup and found myself not using windows after a while so I just imaged it, reclaimed the space and moved on
if I need winshit I just run it in qemu. worst-case i have a shitty external with a windows "To Go" install (rufus lets you do this) but I haven't used it in over a year

what's preventing you from partitioning your existing drive?

>Is dual booting still something people do?
Are you stupid? Of course how do you think people can anything productive while using Linux?
>I'd like to be able to boot Windows and Linux on the same PC for different use cases but there's no fucking way I'm spending $300 for a 1tb ssd that doesn't even have dram
All you need is the separation of the Windows Boot Manager and Grub, I don't know who's fault it is but it's typical on Linux distros to overwrite bootmgfw.efi in the root of the partition which windows claims, this is why Grub "disappears" after an update. When you have it separated in two different ESPs/EFI parts that issue won't happen. and you need to make sure Linux uses local time. Don't do any exotic Unified Data partition for both OSes Linux doesn't really support NTFS that well.

That's just a typical Japanese school kid cartoon character, isn't it?

i bought a little SSD cradle so its easier to unplug one drive and plug in the other, is that dual booting?
