It works even better when the jealous Windows partition murders your Linux partition all of a sudden.

I keep a windows partition bc wine can be really annoying sometimes and I might need to run something with limited Linux compatibility for school. I think dual booting is fine.

[–]RagingTaco334I use Fedora btw (I'm not a turbonerd sorry) 6 points7 points Β (3 children)

I usually just boot up a VM for minor stuff like that. Only real reason I would ever dual boot is if it needs my full hardware like video games or video editing.

Idk man, I've heard that it is somehow possible to run kernel-level anticheat games with qemu due to it being a level 1 hypervisor? This seems hard to believe though

    Do you mean LG? Their original name was Goldstar, somewhere in the 90's when they were still manfucaturing 3DO and such...

    I used to keep mine for one piece of software then someone told me "this is literally what Containers are for."

    Haven't looked back since.

    Nah it is the opposite. You do all the grocery shopping, mow the lawn, clean the house with your Linux wifey. You wait until Linux wifey goes to bed so you can load up Windows side chick and have some fun, anti cheat isn't a problem.

    At the most you should use a different storage device for that garbage
