I’ll still be sticking to a dual-boot when I get a new PC, mainly for VR.
I heard VR is a nightmare on Linux, luckily I’m not into VR but I hope they support it in the future for those who needs it
Yeah, from what I know only SteamVR really works at all and not that well. Given that I probably can’t afford a Valve Index or a HTC Vive Pro2, I’ll use Windows for VR with a Meta Quest 3. My main OS would probably be Garuda Linux.
sudo rm /var/lib/libvirt/images/win10.qcow
I even have a SEPERATE DRIVE mounted at that dir, because I don’t have enough drive space otherwise.
Does this mean your Windows partition has a good version called ‘Mindows’? Are you telling me there is a distro called ‘Walinux’???
Dos and Ubuntu
This is also sort of true if you have 2 Linux distros (like debian and fedora) when it comes to grub every now and then.
Is it not standard practice to have two separate drives to deter the mbr and grub bullshit?
Even then it happens, since I have them installed in separate SSDs. It’s an easy fix though, at least. But I’ve been lazy and just load the other distro with the boot loader lol
my windows partition thankfully went kaput, just bluescreens
after a while, Windows has been nuked from my laptop. have no reason for it (I don’t game on my laptop) and it took up space.
my desktop on the other hand still unfortunately needs it. mods for some games were only designed to be launched on windows.
Do you know which modded games are affected? I was thinking of nuking windows now that gaming on linux seemed like it was viable.
so far just one: multiplayer for Teardown
My windows 10 installation hasn’t been booted this year. I’ve considered just getting rid of it. Right now its storing game backups that I don’t currently play.
I’m in the process of this now. I haven’t used Linux in like 15 years so I’m starting slow with my laptop. My goal is to be free from windows on my desktop and laptop before I have to go to Windows 11. I have to use Windows 11 at work and it’s fucking miserable. I can understand some of the changes from a personal usage standpoint, but from a work related one there are so many features that just make productivity worse. I’ve had to change shit in the registry like 7 times just to get some quality of life features that they changed.
Well then I guess I’m screwed. My work doesn’t allow us to regedit.
Switched to full Linux after buying a steamdeck and seeing how good stuff runs on Linux, but I only miss controls to edit my mouse setup and can luckily live without it
In case you haven’t stumbled upon Piper, it’s pretty great for the mouses it supports. I’ve had a good experience with the couple Logitech ones I’ve owned.
Thanks! Unfortunately not for my device, but hopefully someone else sees this and now is able to use their mouse proper again!
If you want you could add your device using this guide:

(Piper uses libratbag to support devices)
Got a new laptop at work this summer and also got updated from win10 to win11 at the same time. I don’t understand why everything is so much slower on win11 ! Starting the system use to be 30s now it’s 3 minutes. Opening file explorer, slow. Opening a picture, slow. Opening an almost empty Excel sheet, guess it’s time for coffee. Switching desktop views, omg soooo slow!
haven’t you heard, they’re moving Windows to the cloud now, everything on your computer would be uploaded to a specified azure server and all local versions deleted, your ssd would become a ram + cache partition, you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy
