      I’m in school. I 100% need windows for proctored tests. Institutions that offer online schooling are slowly building infrastructure around Microsoft 365 and underlying tech that depends on windows.

      I get it. I main Linux too but you 100% need windows in remote learning. So it’s dual boot.

        the cat in the image is windows update taking over the linux boot partition: the box, instead of leaving it alone for the much more comfortable windows boot partition: the cat tree.

      If I didn’t have to use it a handful of times a year for work I’d have wiped my windows drive and extended my Linux storage. Alas.

      I feel for the folks who can’t afford a second drive to dual boot.

      I run Win10 IOT in a virtualbox to run one app once a month for a few minutes, that I haven’t found a replacement for.
