I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.
I keep a virtual machine of 10. I don’t enjoy using it though.

I think that’s what I will eventually do. Right now it’s still dual boot.
Dual boot is like the hardest way because you have to stop using one to start the other. Virtual machine is the way to go IMO. Though I don’t have a Windows VM atm…
Apparently there’s a way to run a vm from an actual disk partition, as long as you can be sure only the vm has access to the partition(s). I haven’t tried it myself yet though.
I was pretty worried I was gonna bork my drives so I never went for the full pass through. Sounds like unnecessary risk to me.
