I‘ve switched to Linux mint. 95% of my time I am using it instead of Windows and this is just because of that stupid kernel anti cheat software…

My Linux mint partition broke almost immediately :(

The windows boot loader has a tendency to erase the GRUB for booting Linux, borking it as soon as you load into windows. It's probably because windows is still in dual boot.

Edit: specifically, IIRC, it was windows update that borked it, but it always would auto-update when I opened it, so if you can find a way to guarantee windows never updates, power to you.

So that explains my Zorin install disappearing several times. I just gave up and got a Mac.

Yeah, sorry, I learned that the hard way. I just eventually said fuck it, and now I run 'doze on a VM in my Linux mint.

Yeah I would assume so too but I can't drop windows and if I can't rely on dual booting to work it's not worth messing with. I have a laptop with bazzite on it but that only gets so far.

Dualboot might work better with ltsc iot version of windows, which even if you only use Windows you should be opting for anyways over the copilot and account requirement forcing consumer version of Windows that pushes out unstable new features people don't want to try to boost their stock by showing increased use of AI.

I did that but it is still trying to give me updates constantly.

Don't dualboot with a partition and you'll be fine. Give Linux it's own drive and Windows stops messing with it.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 7 hours ago

I don't have enough drive slots for that.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
