  • Depends how familiar with disk partitioning you already are, but it’s generally not that bad. Shrink your windows partition, create a new ntfs partition in windows, and install Linux. Pretty much every major installer has an option to preserve Windows.

    I guess this is the thing with Linux, at various levels it skews DIY and more time intense. And honestly the market seems to be bifurcating between that and the opposite extreme: Android/iOS, which many use as their main PCs now.








  • I’m at the point where printers, bad WiFi, local file sharing/casting, crash recovery, GPU compute, even some driver issues, stuff like that just works in Linux (CachyOS specifically), but doesn’t in Windows.

    Windows is getting progressively worse.

    I still dual boot a very-stripped Windows for games, HDR stuff, and anything that requires a weird driver (like phone tethering), but man, Microsoft just keeps removing or hiding things I use to make Windows sorta functional.
