    third preference: dual-boot.

    Does that mean they’re gonna stop eating grub? Becouse I won’t dual boot let alone allow windows near my hardware till it stops eating grub

      I prefer having Windows safely tucked away on a virtual machine where it can’t hurt anything.

      I wouldn’t count on it… From Microsoft’s point of view, dual booting works as long as you install Windows first - which probably suits them just fine.

      I personally haven’t seen windows do that in many many years (last time I saw it happen was with windows XP, though I haven’t ran dual-boot system with every windows since then, just some).

      In my dual-Linux setup though, one keeps trying to get over the other in every minor update.

        Last time it happened to me was early in my linux journey (around 2 years ago) with win 10, honestly if I wasn’t already extremely pissed off at windows at the time I probably would have given up on linux when it happened, as it was though I instead gave up on Windows and haven’t looked back

      You have to install Windows first, then your Linux distro.

      Doing that has solved all my problems with Windows being a douche

        So I’d have to remove my already setup to how I like it OS, install windows, remove all the garbage it comes with, reinstall Linux, and then re set it up to how I like…

        Just to “more easily” do VR? Yeah no thanks, seems like far more effort than windows is worth to me
