I haven’t booted Windows since February and at this point I’m afraid to.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
If you haven’t used Windows in that long you might as well just get rid of it.
Unfortunately not possible for me. I daily Arch (btw) and hadn’t booted into Windows for months and months until my university professor came along and said “btw, we’re gonna build GUIs using Microsoft Foundation Classes in Visual Studio now, and yes, you have to use Visual Studio on Windows in the exam”. So nope, not uninstalling Windows.
Sounds like prime time for a virtual machine to me!
You can “click” in GRUB?
They’re talking about the Debian installer.
you click the enter key…
people who insist on using windows should just run it in a VM, it has suprisingly low overhead these days, you can even game with it if you insist, but i’m hearing wine/proton is getting good enough that it doesn’t even matter
windows’ ram overhead is insane though, it’s not like I can’t run it but I wouldn’t want to daily drive it
Youre entirely correct about proton unless your kid wants to play fortnite
Literally the only reason I haven’t switched to a Linux distro. I hate anti cheats so much.
Stop talkimg about your ex, Cartman.
And then Windows overwrites your bootloader so it can only boot into Windows.
The only SUCCESSFUL AND RELIABLE way I found to prevent Windows 10 from doing this shit was to remove the HDD from my ThinkPad on which I have Linux, then install Windows on SSD, then put back Linux HDD, then in BIOS deprioritise booting SSD, so I can only manually select and boot SSD/Windows when I really want to use it.
This approach means there is only 1 existing OS on my machine – Linux (Debian) – unless I quick select different boot device. There is nothing that can defeat this approach, and is the best one.
There is one better way, telling your linux bootloader where the windows install is so you don’t have to go to bios when you want to boot windows
I keep no connection between Linux HDD and Windows SSD at all. I do not trust Windows.
