Why aren't you dual booting Windows + GNU/Linux?

Why aren't you dual booting Windows + GNU/Linux?

Let's face it. Windows is a nice gaming platform/console/toy, but for real computing, you need a real operating system.

I don't dualboot

I have a Manjaro partition sitting there.

I used to dualboot - but no more.
Because I enjoy challenging myself to use windows as little as possible.

It has become a hobby for me to support free software - I am willing to compromise on many conveniences to use free software.

Why the hell would I dual boot Windows?
I don't need that shit.

I dual boot hackintosh and windows.

I use parallels with my installation as well. You could say it's kinda silly, but if I need to do something quick on windows, I don't have to restart.

It still feels wasted, because I haven't booted into windows for over a month now. I guess I'll go full on ganoo slush linucks and use the GPU passthrough for gaymen

Because I pretty much only use windows... Linux is superior of course, I have used it a lot, but work demands that I use windows and I can't be bothered to reboot my computer. I have a computer with linux, but i never really use it.

There is no reason to use Linux on anything other than a server.

>but for real computing, you need a real operating system.

I know, that's why I don't use Linux since the only use case for it is ricing your desktop and watching anime

>have windows 7
>install ubuntu in dual boot
>set it up, install wine and some other stuff
>never boot ubuntu ever again

Tried again yesterday, artifacts and shit video performance made me nope the fuck away.

Rebooting is a pain. Run winny as host, linux as guest

do you have an HD 3000 or 4000 series GPU? i smell bullshit

jesus i thought these faggots died off already

Better privacy and security, plus control over the system

linux is a terrible 2D desktop, and so is osx for the same reason. winny is pretty shit too, so where does that leave us?

Not all DEs are 2D desktops

winsucc sucks. linux is good, osx is decent and BSD is great

I don't play games so I don't dual boot.

...

> oh no please don't remind me that my platform is both irrelevant and redundant. I've spent too many hours trying to make this piece of trash work for me!

>botnet as host
You need to do it the other way around, pal.

osx is fashion, nobody who is serious about computing would usw osx

naw. performance; drivers.

looking to use my computer, not virtue signal

In 2016 alone, 1018 games on Steam were released with Linux support. Sure, most of it's crap, but it's a start.

NO TUX, NO BUX

>tfw linux box just werks
>fag tells me its slow
>tries win 7 on same machine
>the file manager lags
you're a fag

i think its a hell lot more usable then windows personally but i wouldnt install it myself or get a mac

because of this, a home in streaming bug. full windows access with hardware gpu performance

>dual-booting

I don't have time for that. I just boot up my Windows VM which has a dedicated SSD & GPU :^)

Why did you delete your post, ICEZWO?

You know that Steam names can be duplicated right?

I dont play games.

he didn't fully black out his account name either

hi, ice7755
protip: don't use a soft brush tool on things you want to black out! box-select and fill.

>dual booting
no one fucking dual boots anymore since IOMMU has become a thing.

How did you put window VM as a separate window?

I am fagot.
720 Blaze it fagot!

Windows is a useless OS (spy-ware/botnet if win10) you literally only need to interact with it if you need photoshop to start.

PS: Did you think about putting Windows into a virtual machine?

Its not that Loonix got better, windows degenerated to this level of shit that in win10 its literally useless and a toy app.

A toy app that will turn off our computer when it feels like it needs to update.
Its the most retarded app imaginable.
Try rendering something overnight on win10 and see how you can lose all of it because win10 needed to update and restart.

Who seriously wants to put anything on a OS lie this?
For what work?

Maybe you enjoy if the SO turns of your computer while you are playing a game however for anything involving productivity???

Like why?
The same is true for web browsing.
I exclusively web brows on Loonix and I would rage quit if the OS decided to turn everything off because it needs to update (Oh yea I rage quit winblows because of this).

I'm not a retard, I can update on my own.

oh i see. still on 7.

Windows has nothing of value, only children play video games. Linux has pretty much everything you need.

>fish

>using a paid vm for an os you have installed

>watching anime
Do you even know where you are?

Its like 30% of my relaxing time.
Its like saying all you can do on the INTERNET is watch porn.
Its like a huge part of the INTERNET.

Also web browsing and 100% of content on the web.
Music.
All video (not just anime) like you can watch live action or if you hate anime PG13 western cartoons made for children (attack on titan and death note are not cartoons made for children senpai).

>sudo vim /etc/default/grub
>intel_iommu=on
>sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

holy FUCK that was hard

how are these different things?
I mean you dual boot until you haven't used windows for a couple of years and then you reward yourself with the extra diskspace.

>Let's face it. Windows is a nice gaming platform/console/toy, but for real computing, you need a real operating system.

Sorry bro, AMD didn't release pro opencl drivers for my r9 270x for Linux, so if I want to run hashcat (real computing!!!!11) I have to use Windows.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

What OS (distro)
What hardware?

I did have this problem with mint 17 and a GTX900 (to new) however the next mint18 release did support it.

Fun fact, win7 dose not detect the build in network in my motherboard whit mint17 did. The only difference is that everyone bundles drivers for windows it practically supports nothing out of the box.

If you have a build in graphics card in your motherboard its recommended you use it instead of the newest thing you bought from the store to fuel your gaymen obsession.

i am thought

Arch as main, Win 10 for gaming and such

feels good, niggers

Anyone got a guide to setting up Linux and Windows dual boot

>Arch as main

Why are you even puting a secure OS uder a windows bottnet?

What is the point?
I did it in XP to see for myself what this loonix thing was however there comes a time when a boy needs to grow up to be a man.

Step 1: Set up Linux
Step 2: Set up Windows
Step 3: Dual-boot.

>He doesn't use SSH or SFTP

It's like you hate convenience

>dual boot
Fuck that noise.

Debian with VirtualBox runs Win7Ult pretty much for the sole purpose of re-saving documents in office so fuckwit secretaries don't accuse me of spreading viruses because MS bigotoffice pretends .docx saved by LibreOffice are corrupted even though they open fine if you just click OK.

Max autism from a man who no longer uses computers.

No seriously RMS no longer uses computers.
Google this shit or watch some lectures from him on YT.

Dual booting is a great step and needed in a transition.
RMS is a autists ho dose not understand the real world and his.
>All software needs to be free
will not magically make photoshop or autocad work on Linux and not using them = you losing your jobe.

This is why we are naming Loonix linux and not GNU+linux. RMS is delusional and needs to be ignored if Loonix is to conquer the world.

> file manager lags
the fuck are you even talking about?

> just werks
lol no

>I know, that's why I don't use Linux since the only use case for it is ricing your desktop and watching anime
(You)

you jelly, nigger?

linux is a meme

Lets remember that DOTA and CSGO are on linux.
Both DOTA and CSGO are big on-line games, not some indie shit.

Yes both of hem where designed to run on post soviet potato however they are big.

Well, my boss/sysadmin uses all his linux tools and shit on OS X. You can rice pretty well on it *cue retarded pink desktop*

Because Windows is garbage.

And this is why you buy nVidia+intell I hope AMD will go bankrupt over this.

do you know what a file manager is you cuck.
>it just werks
>some faggot tells me im wrong
do you even know what im using retard

Because I have two computers.

1) Buy a new HDD/SSD
2) Turn the computer off
3) Unplug the windows HDD/SSD
4) plug in the blanck SSD/HDD
5) install Loonix from CD/DVD/USB

If you need to switch the OS
1) Power off the computer
2) Unplug the OS HDD/SSD
3) Plug in the other OS HDD/SSD

Its 100% Fool proof and windows will never ever fuck up the start up of the HDD/SSD

Does anyone know if it's possible that my Asus laptop that came preloaded with windows 10 has the ability to restrict the partitioning of my hard drive so that I can't dual-boot linux + windows without completely wiping the drive or pulling some weird shit?

just werks
>LOL YES

dont waste your time linux sucks hard. there is a reason windows dominates the world

>y u put secure OS under botnet?
There's no botnet on my machine...

> to see for myself what this loonix thing
You're talking to someone who typed out minix...

>when a boy needs to grow up to be a man.
Go on then, still waiting.

Did you just suggest buying a second video card?

1. I don't want a Linux desktop.
2. Linux vms do everything I need 'em to.
3. I'm writing a good GUI OS since none exists.

>windows dominates the world
dominated now all the gamer kids are playing on their phones.

You mad winfag?

SATA connectors aren't meant to be unplugged and plugged in over and over again

seriously? what could go wrong?

>There's no botnet on my machine

Win10 is a botnet!
Literally see the EULA!

Look up what Ms telemetry is and what it sending crap means for you.
The moment you install windows you are in the MS botnet.

>You're talking to someone who typed out minix
What?

>Go on then, still waiting
I'm sorry is the
CMD to hard for you?
Or do you not need the advanced options of bash?
Or do you love how you need to get the uber mega ultimate GOTY gold windows edition to create a software RAID?

8 of the top 10 Steam games played right now have Linux support

Because I have a high power gaming desktop I only turn on when I want to game because it uses so much electricity

I use my X220 with OSX for normal computing activities.

Linux is simply useless

>butthurt
>cant find argue other than gaming shit
>mfw

>Did you just suggest buying a second video card?
His motherboard has no build in graphics card.

Win10 isn't on my machine.

> >You're talking to someone who typed out minix
> What?

Google it and reread your foolishness.

>2. Linux vms do everything I need 'em to.
And the benefit is that you also the build in windows keylogger so whatever you type in
>Passwords
>Secrets
Are also send to MS.

This is why you don't seriously put Loonix in a VM under windows.
you get non of the security and all of the windows botnet.

I am though...

You implied ease and then just assumed $150 and 90watts out of nowhere.

All nonsense.

This is also relevant to my interests.

Because I have separated headless machine with windows and simply stream games from it. Installing Windows on the same machine as your Linux is insecure.

Everybody is already doing this. Anytime I get a new system I immediately install Windows followed by Ubuntu dual boot.

Can't even edit PDFs. And I mean edit, not fill out.

FAIL.

because im actually competent unlike 99% of users ITT and ive set up a gpu passthrough to qemu win10 vm instead of dual booting like a pleb

>Win 8.1 passthrough VM and a windows 7 server running on top of Debian

Linux is only useful for serving up web pages on the cheap, or selling web hosting on the cheap.

Shit, even filesharing uses the gimped out SAMBA which is inferior to plain old windows server with active directory.

What would you expect from a 40 year old design where the only innovation is copying other systems. (cups+samba, samba, open directory, kerberos, etc).

Linux isn't even useful as a platform for business communications--there is nothing on it like outlook server--and this is a dead basic requirement for the enterprise.

There is no unified authentication for remote users either. You're stuck with a mishmash or kerberos, opendirectory, or maybe even radius thrown in the mix. Totally unacceptable.

Most UNIX innovation was done on Solaris, and their best tools aren't even available on Linux --(dtrace and zfs)--and now that Linux has eaten solaris' lunch, expect no future unix innovation.

Every other use case is better served by a desktop OS.

You linux ppl are fucking delusional!

You're incomprehensible, but unix-on-the-desktop is for millennial fanbois

...

Because a clean/de-bloated install of Windows 10 is all I need for shitposting.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>SATA connectors aren't meant to be unplugged and plugged in over and over again
The fact is SATA is literally designed to be plugged in over and over again.

SATA is hot pluggable for fucks sake you kook.

Also I have a 1 year experience of doing this and nothing wrong ever happened.

What does this do?

If you have to use Windows inside Linux it defeats the purpose of using Linux.

Come back when you can migrate you entire lifestyle to Linux.

I'm a windows developer so I'm stuck on win10 most of the time.

Got a separate pc for playing with Linux stuff, as I'm looking at switching to it in future. Plan is to run linux as a VM host and then a few windows VMs for my testing and development needs. Bonus is that I can play around with all the shit I can't run on windows that I've wanted to learn (lots of web shit and meme languages mostly)

>I'm a windows developer
so youre developing video games?

>Win10 isn't on my machine.

So when is your WinOS becoming obsolete and you need to switch to win10?

Also you did not answer:
>Or do you love how you need to get the uber mega ultra ultimate GOTY gold windows edition to create a software RAID?

You need to pay for this shit on windows and Loonix has it for free, also you can not use it form a VM if the main OS has not this capability.

>You're talking to someone who typed out minix
>Google it and reread your foolishness.
Can you re write this in english? You never used the word minix and out of nowhere is this mystery sentence.
