You guys have windows partitions?

I keep dual windows on laptop for rare occasions cuz I don't like dealing with passthrough for special USB cables that require their own drivers on VMs

Skill issue. Can't click a Windows entry if you don't have one!

[–] [email protected] 43 points 10 months ago

Can't click on Windows, if have no Windows 😏

Just hold the power button until it gets quiet.

Ah old days... I used to boot into Windows 10 just for gaming but when Valve's Proton matured to the point that all my games could work on Linux I very happily nuked it out of existence. But yeah if someone plays Fortnite or needs Adobe products then you still can't do much unfortunately.

I haven't booted into my windows 10 drive in months, I fear the amount of updates it will force apon me if I accidentally do.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

I was in that situation a while ago, so I booted in to try and keep it up to date. Well, in reality I booted into recovery mode as it decided to die. Anyway I'm now duel booting arch and tumbleweed

How?

No dual boot here, Windows is confined to a VM. Even in the ancient times I had dual boot, last century, Linux was always the default.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's also the possibility of selecting the last booted OS by default instead of a specific entry

I'm not into programming, and I'm an LGBTQIA Ally. Just genuinely curious. Are 90% of Linux users really young white femboys with anime body pillows? Or is Lemmy just a heavily skewed demographic?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It’s mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and I’m a Linux user who is young and white but definitely not a femboy. I would say 90% of Linux users probably know how to program though.

Not so young anymore (πŸ₯²), not a femboy and no body pillows here. Been using Linux for almost 20 years now. More than 10 exclusivly Linux.

The young, single, femboys just has more time to creat more memes.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

It's just Lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Dual booters are fem-boys with anime body pillows.

Those brave enough to take the full plunge and single boot Linux are fem-men with anime body pillows.

Windows is installing update 2 of 48...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, that was back in the WinVista/7/8/8.1 days, it doesn't show the number of updates any more. Plus, a lot of the updates are cumulative, they abandoned their earlier model.

And, I have to admit, the update process is a lot faster now and a lot less error prone.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

it doesn't show the number of updates

Huh didn't think of that.

When the windows update bricked my OS I sighed in pure relief as I could finally stop using windows forever. As an added bonus I didn't lose any work because the drive was fully accessible to arch.... after windows said it had encrypted the drive.

Absolute trash operating system and I have zero regrets leaving.

Just pray to God you didn't pick "Windows Boot Repair" or you're going to spend a while recovering your partition labels...

People are still using GRUB to dual boot? It’s not 2010 anymore. systemd-boot is the objectively superior choice.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

I just unplug the exposed SATA cable from one ssd and plug it into the other SSD. I am the bootloader

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is systemd-boot a bootloader?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s a boot manager, technically.
