That’s why I just use a VM, I skip all the complications of having to fix bootloaders and broken installs. If anything goes wrong with windows I just delete the VM. Arch barely uses any RAM, so even back when I had only 8GB, windows ran incredibly well. I’ve updated to 16GB (because I needed the 64 bit version of excel and I wasn’t being able to install it due to RAM requirements). Ever since then, I don’t even look back to dual booting.

Funny story, originally my laptop was dual booted, but I removed windows completely and formated the partition, and since it was at the beggining of the drive, and you cannot move blocks around so easily in storage (I needed another SSD or hard drive to copy them momentarily) I was left with a hole in my storage. What I did was, mount the directory with the VM image storage to the empty partition. So now it’s kind of “dual booting” with some extra steps and with the added benefit of being able to use both OS’ at the same time

[TL;DR] If possible, just use a VM

I don’t even want windows on raw metal, so I have a virtual machine for work stuff

I’m really sensible, so please use pinky

Winbloats was arguably the first one of this list to get enshitiffied. I remember being a 12 yo trying to find an alternative to winbugs because the microsoft account login was required. It’s got worse since then

Let’s campaign so that they ban it

I was born in the 2000’s and didn’t have an email account until 2012, and even I know what it sounds like.

Is it finally being shut down? Don’t get my hopes up

You guys don’t have to be so mean. We get it, AI “art” bad, therefore this comic is the literal spawn of satan. I found it actually kind of hilarious, it’s so nonsensical and confusing it made me chuckle

“The laptop of theseus” <3

Some day I’ll get myself one, when I’m a little uuum… richer :')

May the remains of this pumpkin rise up next year in the form of new pumpklets.

Man, do I love gardening and composting.

Skelleton >:D

My minimal arch installation on my 128 GB RAM monster of a computer

dang you!

I actually like it

I’m actually encouraged to update often because if I don’t, the updates keep accumulating and I end up with 200+ apps and dependencies that require such updates. Not that I’m affected or anything, I don’t even need to re-start my machine, and pacman works in the background. So, It’s been a positive experience over all. So yay! Updates!

I’ve been in a stable relationship for a couple of years now, and living with her since January this year

By any chance, did you kill their father because he killed your father? Have you got any sons? Does this involve your guy’s grandfathers too?? This sounds like a neverending loop. Can’t you all just go out fishing together or something

Sure thing good luck patching!

Gotta check the documentation

It looks so goooood! I’m excited for this new update

OMG! Me too!!
