Yes, this works. However, you can not (or should not if you possibly could?) modify data on partitions mounted by the hibernating OS. If E.g.Windows and Linux are installed and Windows is hibernating, the NTFS partitions can only be mounted read-only under Linux.
yea i know i meant it as a way to speed up dualbooting. cos having to shut down an os to get to the other one is a bit annoying
If i may ask what OS and for what do you dual boot? Windows and Linux? Gaming?
linux mint and windows for gaming
May I ask, is there a reason you don't use proton/wine instead of Windows? There's lots of downsides to windows nowadays
proton and wine are great but far from perfect.
i wanted to play a small indie game demo just a few days ago, installed it through proton and it didn't have audio. ran it through wine and that was even worse. the overhead of a vm is too much for my machine to run games well
If you tried running it outside steam through wine, you should try again using GloriousEggroll's wine instead of default.
Wine isn't really made for games and (iirc) doesn't include support for a lot of commonly used graphic/audio api's, which GE's version does.
Or if it is through steam and it still didn't work correctly, you could try his version of proton. It gets more frequent updates and some other fixes as well.
Or you really just found a game that doesn't work under proton, in which case you could open an issue so they can fix it at some point
