noctiviuswindows update
Always keep a backup of your boot partition, when dual booting with windows. I wouldn’t encourage a windows boot though
I have dual boot for long time already. Win 11 + Ubuntu. Although there was no any critical issues so far, except some mess up with internet connection on my ubuntu few times.
The correct version of this rule is: “Never dual-boot with Windows”. The most correct and short version is: “Never Windows.”
"Hello, my name is [redacted] and I’m a recovering dualboot user. It’s been…wow, yeah, I’m 27 days sober using only Linux on my machine. “You know, it’s like they tell you, you think you’ll never stop. You think “How could I stop drinking this Win11 slop? My whole life has been like this!” Naw, man. When they tell you that you don’t miss the taste, that it will come to disgust you, looking back. They’re right. They were all right all alo-” insert meloncolic sobbing for 92 minutes
“Excuse me…sir? This is a Wendy’s.”
It’s funny because it’s true.
The best way to quit Windows is cold-turkey.
pixeltreeFucking goddamn I’d love to have a replacement to fusion 360 so I never had to touch windows again. FreeCAD is just awful, I keep coming back to it and keeping finding new issues with it. OpenSCAD is cool and useful for simple stuff, but it is not performant in the slightest and the lack of ability to fillet or chamfer edges is insane. Blender is great for 3d modeling but doesn’t work well for engineering modeling.
Sometimes there just isn’t any ideal happy-end movie-tier solution. You made your choice. You chose evil over the inconvenience.
??? I run fedora
If you dont want to run a vm you could still try installing what you need with Wine or Lutris, etc. One day we will have great software for all niches but youre right we aint there yet lol
Fusion doesn’t work well with these and has only gotten worse over time.
There are some install scripts on github, but the end result is buggy to the point of being unusable.
Really unfortunate because there is no alternative to Fusion without large caveats.
I wasn’t able to get those scripts working at all
Onshape seems to be a good CAD program that runs in the browser
Alph4d0gWorth a try. Highly capable. It’s my default.
Ooooo, somehow haven’t heard of it! Looks really good, thanks!
These are the moments you live for.
BoxOfFeetHell yeah. FreeCAD is awful. I use NX for work, and will do my personal stuff on there as well. It’s all just for me, I dont sell anything. But I would still love to use my own PC for it. FreeCAD is absolutely unusable.
Any advice for a Steam Deck user that dual boots windows to access games I’ve paid for but otherwise can’t play anymore on Steam Deck?
Surprised no one answered yet… I don’t have a steam deck, so I don’t know much about it.
Are those games from the windows store? If not, you could try to get them working on linux with Lutris (or something similar). Generally I wouldn’t encourage buying DRM-free versions of games if possible (I know sadly that’s not an option for every game)
LillyPipOr never let Windows touch anything. There are alternatives. Treat Windows like the virus it is.
ChristopherBack when I dual booted, I had the most success keeping Windows on a separate drive completely. After making the Linux drive the primary boot device, GRUB would pick it up and I’d be off to the races. I now just keep a Windows VM – it’s been much easier to deal with.
Boy howdy, you best keep that BitLocker key handy, though.
I’m not following, do you need the bitlocker key when Linux is on a separate disk? is there something extra you need to keep in mind compared to just running windows?
Just when recovering a windows partition encrypted with bitlocker.
Yeah. My TPM would trip every time Linux updated my hardware firmware… which was fairly common.
I was going to dual boot, to kind of test the waters of using Linux as my primary. Then I heard there were is with Windows not wanting to play nice, so now I just run Linux.
And to be honest I don’t actually know what any of the issues are, I didn’t care enough to even search it. I just said Fuck Windows and moved on with my life.
That was probably the right move. I had multiple drives, but only one SSD at the time, and I decided to dual boot with both on that SSD. Long story short, Windows fucked it up, I spent a lot of time recovering things, but Windows was never able to be recovered (I did manage to get Linux Bootable again). I decided to grab anything important off that drive and then just turned it fully into a Linux drive, and ditched Windows completely. It’s been great since.
Windows is literally designed to break multi-boot setups. Funny enough, multibooting on a Mac was never a big problem. Microsoft has more of a reason to cooperate here and they just can’t help themselves.
My bet is it’s partially on purpose. They think they can keep you on Windows by doing this, but for me it just ensured I go 100% Linux.
I think it’s worse. It’s negligence. If their OS works, they don’t care what it does to the rest of your computer.
I think it started as negligence, but there’s no way they aren’t aware of it now and it’s willful too. At first it happened because they didn’t care, but now it happens because they like the result.
CatpuccinoI currently dual boot like this. I’m still really new to Linux but I always wondered about this meme since I didn’t have to change my boot settings other than to boot the drive with Linux first. Now it makes sense but it had me wondering for a while there!
AnyOldName3Variations of this meme get posted every week, but I’ve never experienced it, despite having had tens of grub updates murder-suicide the Windows boot loader and grub itself across five or six different machines. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to rebuild a Windows boot partition, but the frequency that I’m hit with this problem is one of the major reasons I avoid using Linux. Eventually I’m going to have to switch, but that’s driven mainly by Windows getting worse rather than any of the pain points I’ve had when trying to switch full time in the past having been fixed.
Why do you lot avoid using Windows instead?
Not him but I use Windows for C++ and C# development, and I use Linux for coding work stuff (mostly javascript). Have yet to find a good, free IDE for C++ development on Linux that compares to Visual Studio
CLion’s worth checking out. It’s free for non-commercial projects.
CLion is alright, but I don’t like jetbrains UX design. I also prefer MSBuild and solution files over makefiles or cmake. Would be nice for an IDE that was all inclusive like Visual Studio is
Fair enough! I can recommend Emacs. Build your own IDE with style. Some use Nvim. CLion as mentioned is also probably as good as any other Jetbrains software.
Lol emacs is the opposite direction of where I want to go. I used to be a vim user and had all my plugins and configs in there until I realized that I was spending more time configuring vim than I was actually coding, so I stopped trying so hard and just moved to Visual Studio and VSCode
Try Doom or Spacemacs. Anything I change is because I am lazy and need something to be even more lazy. The work very well out of the box.
Kerbwindows removed my grub bootloader at least 3 times even once after i started using seperate drives.
ive never had the opposite happen.
I think I literally just had it happen again, not even because of windows update but by having windows “delete” a partition that I wanted to reclaim on my Linux install (in the process of moving Linux and windows to completely separate drives)
pewpewI’d use a VM with GPU passthru
This is what I’ve been trying to accomplish. While I’ve been able to get it to work; I generally have relatively poor performance for gaming.
By chance do you game and have had enough success with the GPU pass through to play? What’s your setup like?
I used to GPU passthrough a 7900 xtx. Just pass through the whole PCIE device and don’t try to partition it or any fancy stuff. All that likely won’t work unless you have specific workstation cards, anyways. Just pass it through so the VM gets all of the gpu. Then, the only performance issues should come only from any tomfoolery with CPU settings or other performance settings like not having all the hardware virtualization hooks turned on.
Though fair warning: I had lots of odd issues, like the GPU not soft-resetting after crashes, and not being able to soft-reboot the VM. Because the commercial drives often do not have all of the power states and driver hooks necessary to totally reboot/etc while staying powered and attached to a bus.
My comment was more like a suggestion, I don’t actually use Windows at all anymore since I finished school and thankfully I don’t need it
blaue_FledermausRunning dual boot for about a year, never had this happen, and I update both frequently.
In my work computer I actually have the opposite, no matter what I do, GRUB won't recognize the storage drive with Windows and I have to use the BIOS boot menu.

PsychadelligoatLiterally the only boot drive issue I’ve ever had dual booting was when I somehow accidentally deleted the GRUB partition (I’m still not entirely sure how)
Grub lives on the drive with Linux, windows on an extra one, select which I wanna use on boot. Windows just updated like yesterday, rebooted right to GRUB no issue
User reports having lost his GRUB partition mysteriously
User says not to worry about Windows randomly removing GRUB partitions through Windows Updates
It was me, I know that, and I know I did it while in Linux, too, I just did like 50 things at once and about 20 of them could be responsible
Get rid of the wheel and this is the most accurate meme. Windows update is an old man who falls and breaks his hip. Linux is a cripple in a broken wheelchair. 100% true.
MonstrosityWow, what a poet.
Venus_ZiegenfalleSlurs feel so forced these days
southsamuraiI mean, us cripples aren’t all united in it being a slur.
To the contrary, there’s a growing number that embrace it because it doesn’t downplay how serious many disabilities can be.

Has never happened to me since using systemd-boot
Heh. systemd-boot’s Windows entry broke for me over a year ago, and I haven’t been able to fix it. I have to boot Windows through UEFI.
What the heck is the origin of this meme template? And am I the only one who thought this was Roger Stone?
It’s a spinnoff of the dancing prince Charles.

Ah the repostiator is here
I find your lack of OC disturbing.
You can’t stop the reposts, anymore than you can stop the suns from setting.
So this is how OC dies - with thunderous applause. Reposts! Unlimited reposts!
The Reposter took everything from me. Ripped me from my source, murdered my original poster, used me as a karma coe, and then cast me aside. Abandoned me. Once, I had originality — now I have nothing.
I am no OC.
If you define yourself by your power to shitpost, your desire to karmawhore, to possess, then you have nothing.
The garbage’ll do! (No need to alter that one, I guess.)
You know, no matter how funny you are, I’ve always hated watching you be reposted.
A prequelmeme to be sure, but a reposted one!
General Thievous… You’re older than I expected
Your clones are not that impressive, you must be very ashamed.
Watch those wrist reposts
Are we blind, deploy the downvotes
Oh no the reposter
A repost to be sure and an unwelcome one
Guess I was wrong, there was no OC at all
Master, reposters
I don’t like reposts, they’re rough, coarse, irritating and they get everywhere
now THiS is reposting
You’ll try reposting that’s a bad trick
This is where the repost begins
We will watch your repost with no interest
I will deal with this repost slime myself
I don’t think the OC works
Henceforth, you shall be known as Ctrl+Vader!
The ability to post does not make you original
Only a sith deals in reposts
It’s over OP, I have the high karma
You were supposed to destroy the reposters not join them!
What about the repost attack on the OC?
My powers have doubled since the last time I saw this post OP
You are on this subreddit, but we don’t give you the rank of OC
Fool, I have been trained in repost identification arts by Count Dooku
I downvoted them all, they’re dead, every single one of them. And not just the reposts, but the shit posts and the OC too. They’re reposts, so I downvoted them like reposts. I hate them!
You ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagiarism the unwise, I though not, it’s not a story the mods would tell you. It’s a reddit legend. Darth plagiarism was a dark lord of reposting. So dumb and so unoriginal, he would use the sort by hot to find good posts and create reposts. He had such low knowledge of posting he couldn’t even keep the karma he loved from dying. The dark side of reposting is the path to many disabilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so weak, the only thing he was still afraid of loosing was his reposts, which eventually of course he didn’t. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice reposted his post. Ironic, he couldn’t keep others karma from dying, not even his own
You have failed me, OP.
The repost is strong with this one.
If one is to understand the great OC. One must create it and all of its aspects. Not just the dogmatic narrow low effort of the reposts.
The oppression of the repost will never return! Your plot to regain control of the Subreddit has failed! It’s over! You have lost!
How many other posts have I seen reposted by this Subreddit?!
You’ve already stolen the OC… This is just a repost!
Reposting is not the Jedi way.
You are no OC creator.
We got Reposts!
Good redditors, create OC
OP. You’re crazy reposting a meme is not OC.
Reposters, take 'em down!
They’ve sent in the Reposters!
Reposters. Dead ahead.
Just like the other post.
Your arrogance blinds you, Master Reposter.
You are weak and unwise, and I am very ashamed of you, Reposter.
Unfortunately for you, your karma will not be seen that way.
Set 'em up, and vote 'em down!
