Comment on It's quite the burden knowing I'm always the smartest person in any given room.

  I agree, I just don’t know realistically how many people use them anywhere near equally for very long. I’ve been 99% on Linux for 5 years. That 1% is basically just me keeping a windows partition for security. I end up logging into it once every 4-6 months but I don’t truly “need” it almost ever.

    “Dual booting” as a concept is flawed anyways. You cant use both partitions so you gravitate towards one of the other (usually just linux; otherwise it’d be only windows anyways)

      Yeah that’s kinda what I’m saying. It takes effort/money to keep using both unless it’s a work provided machine with the non preferred os

      Well you can with a hypervisor, but why bother when you can just run windows VM in linux… until you discover some game anticheats like battleye went out of their way to detect and block virtualization of any kind, so you need to boot windows natively sometimes. Of course you could go the other way and run linux vm inside windows but then all the flexibility of a linux system is lost in a rigid windows wrapper, which makes it kinda pointless…
