Imagine dual booting Windows lol

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 7 points 2 years ago

Yes it is a thing when you are sick of your old partition, dat(a)ing trying a fresh start but are in sort of a Stockholm Syndrome.

top 5 best things I've done in the last year

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Right? And also having a straight up eight way because I can't stop putting Linux on stuff

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Needed for VR games unfortunately

Totally different drive that needs to use the bios boot selector.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw this and thought "Ha! No I don't!" Then I thought about it for a second and had to check

Turns out I do, in fact, have a Windows partition. Haven't used it in years, so I know what I'm doing today

[–] Overshoot2648@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Deleting it is so cathartic!

[–] StephenTallentyre@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was gonna say, I haven't used Windows in years.

I've built two computers now that have never run Windows.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I boot windows once or twice a year so that I know what people are talking about regarding the latest version of the interface. I haven't actually found a use for it in ages.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

Well, windows keeps trying to change me.

Linux makes me want to change.

Both get as much time because I'm tired of trying to fix shit in Linux in order to play games.

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everytime I want to do something that I can only do in windows, I really have to consider if it's worth dealing with windows to do it.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I just switched to using a vm for that. If windows fucks up or acts up, freezes, literally anything not to my liking I nuke it.

Linux corrupted. Windows update failed and crashed. GRUB has a fatal error.

My computer is dead.

Cat no banana.

[–] urfavlaura@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

bold of you too assume I still have one

[–] eruchitanda@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every time I think about my Windows installation I think about AHK and get a little sad. It's the only software I regret leaving. But then I remember my comfy i3 config, and get over it.

[–] Lightfire228@pawb.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's largely going to depend on your window manager or compositor,

But you can achieve similar results using python and your WM's hotkey options

Kde plasma has really good hotkey options

[–] felsiq@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

Exactly, what can AHK do that a generic plasma shortcut plus a script in your language of choice couldn’t?
Genuine question, I haven’t looked at AHK in years

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lol, that virtual machine partition looking at the camera like it knows what's going on ...

[–] ceiphas@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dual Boot... Gentoo and Arch btw

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago
[–] utopiah@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

You actually reminded me I have a Windows 100Go partition. I reduced its size but really, based on when I last boot on it, I should really delete it.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If I'm being honest, it's currently the opposite because of PVE Tarkov and the Hunt : Showdown update

[–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Hunt works perfectly fine on Linux, played a few rounds yesterday.

Tarkov still does not.

Imagine even having a Windows partition.

Gross.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

I had a Windows partition. Windows threw a fit and broke the filesystems during an update, so I killed it. I don't know if there's a good meme format for that situation...

[–] LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ROFL Dual booting with Microsoft being as shitty as they are...Yeah, no. I very much am 100% committed to Linux on my Desktop. I might only make a small concession to getting a Mac Mini for iPhone management.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As someone with an iPhone, I forgot iTunes and related utilities were still a thing.

[–] LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 years ago

They're gradually phasing out the iTunes PC App...Apple has divided the functions of iTunes into several focused apps. The second reason why I'd love to get a Mac Mini is to get my music redownloaded. I didn't back up my tunes on another hard drive, which was a beginner mistake. I did upload it to Apple Music, though.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

Tried to install arch overwrote the girl

[–] raker@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

On this photo I'd take the Windows partion, because the Linux partion is already full.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago

I have a file with virtual storage for a Windows VM. It's a malware lab.

[–] n3cr0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Pretty accurate about the users, but maybe not the way we interact with Lemmy. We also have Android phones for that.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

You guys have windows positions?

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Hey wait, I resemble that remark!
