Linux

Throwing out another idea: I upgraded an aging laptop and put mint on it and it's my main right now, but I can get on the newer windows computer if I need to. I rarely need to now, though things will come up and its nice to have an out. Recently it was getting my printer working which I so rarely use. Didn't have the patience, just needed the doc printed, flipped to windows.

It's a little sad to me. I watched windows rise to its peak with windows 2000 and slowly fall. Been using it since 3.1, and had dos-only for a little while before that. It's time to say goodbye. Been on and off with Linux since the early 2000s but this is my first real big push to use it outside of work or projects. Linux has come a long way from those days.

Eh, you've already dual booted and "used linux more and more," unless you can think of a reason why you'd really need windows, and since you're already comfortable with linux, you might as well switch fully if you think you're ready.

1. LTSC + WSL (Better than VM)
2. Dual Boot
3. Linux only

I left windows years ago. I only need it for a couple really restrictive apps, so I dual boot, but I only boot in every few months.

I stopped playing games that use aggressive anticheat as well. 99% of the games I was playing work great, all I lost really was Fortnite and destiny 2, which is worth my sanity dealing with Windows nonsense.

I e been telling people who switch to; think of it like moving house. When you move to a new house, the bathroom isn't in the same place and the kitchen is different, it's up to you whether the new location is better or not. If you expect your new house to have all the same rooms in all the same places as your old house you'll always be disappointed the whole time. Linux is a different house, pick a house that suits your needs and you'll be happy.

Honestly I'm considering just using Windows server 2022. I've got it running on my dedi and it's great. I don't see any reason not to just install it on my pc too.

The way I'm handling it is I currently dual boot with 2 separate hard drives. Linux is primary boot. there is no bootloader, I used the bios boot selector to load windows. Windows typically fucks up boot loaders or shared partitions so I have neither. I hope to have found a good distro that does everything I need by the time windows dies,

Windows is dropping support for dual boot?
