1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

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

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.

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year 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.

[–] faercol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year 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?

[–] exoplanetary@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year 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.

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...

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year 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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

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

[–] maryjayjay@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is systemd-boot a bootloader?

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a boot manager, technically.
