Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s
post
You guys have windows partitions?
Me with only linux installed: not a problem i face, no
Just hold the power button until it gets quiet.
... shush, don't fight it, it will be over soon.
I always imagine this when hard rebooting any device
It could be installing updates
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.
Only problem is gamepass
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.
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?
Itβs mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and Iβm 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.
these comments always remind me how small the amount of my peers here probably is. i wonder how many other lemmy users have cooked crack
Windows is installing update 2 of 48...
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.
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.
That just doesn't happen to me.
I use rEFInd.
I just unplug the exposed SATA cable from one ssd and plug it into the other SSD. I am the bootloader
Is systemd-boot a bootloader?
Just pray to God you didn't pick "Windows Boot Repair" or you're going to spend a while recovering your partition labels...
What Windows? I got Debian, and some shit that tests my memory.
you donβt have it default to linux..?
does anyone know how to actually reorganze a grub menu? every time I try to Google it I only get results for some old software that hasnt been updated in over a decade 8 years. its a huge pain to have to select the distro I want every time just because its not first
