I keep dual booting just because sometimes Linux does crap itself.

I have been troubleshooting what's going on with my kde desktop (both x11 and wayland affected) for about 8 hours no with no success. I have a zoom appointment this afternoon so I am glad I can still boot into (retch) Windows.

I created a dual boot to test the waters for a HTPC, and haven't had to go back once. But Linux mint did shit the bed just once recently where the wifi drivers died. Only solution was to connect a cable, download a kernel update, then back to 100%.

Finally got mine fixed, something in .config was breaking the desktop. Narrowed it down to a few items and just didn't restore those.
