I gotta give dual booting a shot. I need windows for my college's crappy exam software, but I also can't afford another laptop just for Linux

I just use a VM for windows apps that don't work through wine

I haven't had to use any exam software recently, but in the past when I did I remember reading that it can detect when the host is virtual and will not run in a VM. Fortunately at the time I still had a windows laptop lying around, but I'd have a real problem if one of a courses now tried to do this.

It’s worth it lol, though watch out you may find yourself dreading opening windows
