    I honestly don’t even know how people have enough motivation to dual boot windows - you essentially need to maintain two full sets of your communications and browser stuff, where one is updated automatically, and the other … well yeah, windows is fucked up. And the few games I can’t play are shit anyway.

      I don’t see why it would be that annoying. I use Firefox on my phone and desktop, and things sync just fine, so I don’t see why throwing Windows into the mix would matter. LIkewise for things like Discord, you just login and you’re good to go. I guess if you install something in one place you need to do it in both, but that’s a one-time thing.

      For me, the most annoying things come from the Windows side. Windows likes reboot during updates, and since my default is Linux, the next time I use Windows it inevitably needs to reboot a couple times before I can do anything. That’s a really crappy user experience, especially since I only boot into Windows like once/year. If I used Windows more, it would be less of an issue.

        Keeping stuff up to date on windows is certainly more annoying, the more programs you have. And if I wanted to replicate my Arch setup in the slightest, so I could even use it, it would be hell.

      I did it for about three months while I was getting used to Linux and I have a machine that I share with a Windows user so dual boot is necessary and for a while I was gaming on Windows and coding on Linux which was on an HDD but we got an NVMe SSD and now Linux is on there so gaming is no problem.
