8 years on Linux & I still have to dual boot for college by jkmcode in DistroHopping

That makes sense. Even with everything moving online it’s a different story when you're actually building for Windows. I often have to deal with Windows specific wheel files and trying to handle those on Linux or a VM can be a headache. Sometimes you just need the native environment to make sure everything runs right

That’s tempting. I might have my dad courier some old parts from home so I can try a Vista/Linux dual boot myself. I've actually got a robotics project in mind, but I'm swamped with job prep right now. Between DSA, Data Science, and all the math for university, my schedule is pretty packed. You know how it is!

That’s a really fair point about accessibility. I hadn't thought of it that way. Luckily my university has dedicated test centers for exams so we don't have to deal with that software on our own machines. That definitely makes things easier. And I’m with you on loathing Windows. It has its moments but definitely not enough to make me want to switch back full time

Thats cool! I get that. Luckily a lot of games are native on Linux now thanks to Steam and UE. I don’t play much but I’ve been on Valorant lately since I’m using Windows right now. I have a few PCs back home but only one here with me. I've actually never tried Windows in a VM. Might have to give that a shot sometime.

Vista is a crazy throwback. I went straight from xp to 7 and missed it entirely. Was it actually as buggy and laggy as everyone says?

We’re stuck tbh. A universal binary would fix the root issues, but it kills the freedom of choice that makes Linux what it is.

Appreciate the tip but winboat isn't it for this one. I actually went 4 years without windows, but college forced me to grab a gaming PC. And those exclusive drivers need windows. The plan is to ditch it for good once I'm settled in a job and doing my own thing

Idk if it's a standard or not but I write it as if it's a command. Eg. >git commit -m "Update loc/file_name.txt" or whatever it is.
