Skill issue. Can't click a Windows entry if you don't have one!

You guys have windows partitions?

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

I do. I wanted to finish something there that I couldn't easily move to Linux. A DVD project using files scattered accross the system in DVDStyler. I didn't notice DVDStyler works on Linux.
Now I am basically keeping it due to sunk cost fallancy. It has lots of menus and videos, plus some of them I cut myself. But I don't even remember where I ended. There was also something about color limitation in menus I wanted to fix. I last shut it down during an update about 2-3 years ago.
But who knows, maybe later at some point...

But I could really use those extra 400GB. I only have 15GiB free right now...

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 8 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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 18 points 10 months ago

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.

Not so young anymore (🥲), not a femboy and no body pillows here. Been using Linux for almost 20 years now. More than 10 exclusivly Linux.

The young, single, femboys just has more time to creat more memes.

Windows is installing update 2 of 48...

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

Is systemd-boot a bootloader?

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

It’s a boot manager, technically.
