I see some comments trashing dual boot, I really don’t understand why. I have really nice setup with Debian 12 and Windows 10. Boot pc, get to work on Linux, and other projects after. When I’m done and want to game a bit I switch to windows.
I have no need to setup funky VMs to bypass games made strictly for windows, and also don’t have performance limitations.
I see some comments trashing dual boot, I really don’t understand why.
Back when I dual booted, every Windows update was a dice roll whether and how it would decide to fuck up my dual boot setup.
Sometimes it decides to “fix” grub. Sometimes it wanted to encrypt something new to protect me from all the theives that wander through my living room. Sometimes Windows just had an update that was 1000% sure that Windows was the default boot entry, and so doing something extremely sensitive and rebooting to finish without telling the user, should be fine.
Windows under dual boot, for me, was like having a fragile semi-suicidal pet. I found myself doing constant research to rescue it from itself.

Just use the right tool for the right job folks.

Eventually I did let it die.
So I’m not mad at it, exactly. I’m just over it.
