What is the most painless and minimal way to dual boot these days?

  • Fanatec racing wheel and pedals - although this one technically works on Linux as well through hid-fanatecff which is what I'm currently using but the official ones would be better

  • Hm this sounds very interesting, it would be pretty convenient, I'll look into it

  • NTFS does not count

    Aren't NTFS and exFAT pretty much the only option?

  • Does it not? I've seen posts about grub being borked after Windows updates, or was that only on legacy BIOS systems?

  • I exhausted the WINE route, some games I want to play don't work with Proton no matter how much you tweak (the first time I'm running into this in a few years) as well as some additional software. There's also a driver I need to run that's technically available on Linux but it's a reverse engineered solution developed by one guy so who knows if it's gonna keep working.

  • Will it maybe work if I just unplug my Linux drive during the Win install?

  • Good thinking, I'll definitely look into that. One caveat is I'm going to need a driver that's also Win-only so I'll have to see if that works in a VM.

    • Suddenly it all makes sense.

  • If you regularly need to take stool samples like me it's easier as well. On the downside it's smellier.

    • Would being a Linux "power user" increase my chances of getting a job in IT/tech?

    Jump

  • Exact experience I've had, in every workplace I've been Windows users have been a non-stop liability and required support for workarounds and hacks. Seeing their workflow through screenshare was kind of a culture shock.

    • Btw, I don't use Arch

  • I have no idea how Windows is the red line in this, it should be the green but even steeper

    • Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.

    Jump

  • 99% of the time it's just "make && sudo make install" or something like that. Anything bigger or more complicated typically has a native package anyway.

    • GNU-Linux

    Jump

  • I don't know if people use it on desktop but with its minimal size it's convenient as hell for docker images that don't need a lot of dependencies installed

    • What is your favourite shell to use

    Jump

  • Zsh with powerlevel10k + a few plugins

    • Permanently Deleted

  • Fun fact, "fos" means "liquid shit" in Hungarian, applies literally in this case

    • Why does no distro utilise BitTorrent to distribute packages?

    Jump

  • To add to everything else mentioned, many places (schools, workplaces) don't allow any usage of BitTorrent, even legal. A guy at my uni got yelled at for torrenting a Linux iso. Not to mention depending on where you live your ISP might be interested in that activity unless you're using a vpn.
