I think you could have kept the Windows drive installed while installing Linux as long as you were careful not to let the installer touch that device. But regardless, ideally you would run os-prober from Linux and let it update Grub with an entry for Windows (some Linux installers do this automatically). Then you would be able to choose the OS from the Grub menu during boot.
I wondered this same thing and investigated installing Hyprland on Bazzite but didn’t really find anything. I suspect you’d layer the installation into the os with rpm-ostree, but I didn’t end up trying it.
The power of defaults.
I dual boot, but I’ve been dreading booting back into Windows recently because I upgraded my motherboard/CPU and know they are going to make me buy another license. And I understand Windows is more convenient for a lot of people but I am not one of them.
I can’t think of anything that is more convenient for me on Windows other than that I have to use it to run Studio One to record music from time to time. But “software availability” has nothing to do with the operating system itself; market position does. And a company’s market position rarely drives my purchasing decisions.
I dislike Windows for all the reasons people here typically state.
:o
Alright who is in the Discord and can tell us if it’s actually 4chan or not
I don’t know the difference between a terminal and a terminal emulator, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
Lately using Foot since that’s what my distro shipped with.
The only other things that stick out to me are distro philosophy and release schedule. Like, do you want a completely community oriented distro, a corporate one, one with LTS-style releases, or rolling releases? These things may or may not make a difference.
The best way imo is to install Ventoy to a USB drive, then load it up with ISOs from distros you are interested in. Then you can boot into their live sessions and test drive them. But ultimately, you can almost always get Linux software running on any distro. The differences are whether a distro comes with something out of the box, or if it even has your desired apps in its official repos.
btop, Steam, Discord, Firefox. These are all available on all distros. Things like the file system browser - I don’t care as much and just use what the distro provides by default.
Run a package update then install whatever other apps you want. For me, also set up auto mount of a couple network drives provided by my NAS.
You should not be concerned about this unless you are building things from source.
Probably… I used and gamed on Kubuntu for 2 years and had an excellent experience.
How tf do you have one of the most successful commercial game engines and still can’t support your own staff?
You still wipe, just once or twice instead of 14 or 15 times.
You can definitely use the bios to boot into each one as well. I’m not sure why that didn’t work for you.
