    Even if true, that doesn’t mean you have to put up with it everywhere else.

    I dual boot linux. These days, I only boot an extremely neutered Windows for most games or anything HDR, but basically for nothing else. Honestly a lot of old Windows stuff works better in Wine anyway.

      You and I do this, but 99% if the world runs on ms. They wont change. My friend says it sounds exhausting to do anything like that.

        Fair.

        And it’s the default.

        Eventually, OEMs might find all this stuff is hurting sales and start offering Linux. I think that would be huge, as 99% of buyers will just stick to the default.

          Oh for sure. I’ve had my SO look over at my mint pc (they are on 10 still) and go woah that is awesome!! So i am trying to convince them to change over. I really dont want any windows pcs on my network. But they use vr which still isn’t good on linux without a lot of work.

            BTW you can share NTFS partitions with Windows and Linux, if that’s your SO’s concern.

            I do this, and it works really well! This used to be an issue in Mint because its kernel was kinda old, but no more.

            Obviously getting into partitioning is a lot of configuration for most people, but still.
