I’ve been a fan of the dual boot option (sometimes separate hard drives)
Boot PC. Press F8. Select Windows drive and boot to windows 10 for gaming.
Most of time it defaults to Linux and that’s where i live the other 97% of the time
I have the same setup on my laptop. There’s always something easier on Windows whether I like it or not and it’s good to have the option.
Never had an issue with them coexisting.
This was great. I enjoyed this!
I flew Icelandic air recently and they had A 4 minute long ad playing with no way to skip or mute that had to play before the entertainment system was available. It played a soon as you turned it on!
I had to unplug and look away for 4+ minutes
I have not had an issue in… 9 years? Though I use separate physical drives which might help. I wouldn’t let that scare people away
Edit: I’m also using rEFInd Boot Manager. I have about 5 operating systems that I can boot into (good way to try various Linux distros)
That may be a reason to run a dual boot with Windows and your special gfx or cad software that you earn your livelihood from.
But for the other 75% of the time when not working, you have Linux.
Agreed, but sometimes a compromise for a not as good alternative is sufficient depending on the task.
Does this contribute to warming the planet? 😁
If you can, set this up on your router and then specify which devices should route through.
You may also want to use pihole for ad blogging and as your DNS server. and in pihole use your VPN server’s DNS such that you don’t have DNS leak.
And if the VPN is down, your computer won’t work until it comes back up.
Helpful if you run the network at your house
