Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 support will end in a few months, meaning nearly half of Steam users will be forced to upgrade.

nope, adobe apps are allergic to VMs too, less so but still. believe me i’m not hyped about having a whole dedicated OS just so i can run 4 programs, but dual boot is my only option

since i’ll set all that up past end of life for win10 i won’t be getting any security updates so i can safely just disable that option altogether, which will hopefully make the two OS coexist peacefully

I think the dual boot problems are generally associated to using the same drive. If you have one drive for each you can use BIOS to control boot order instead.

Yes 100% this is the problem. You can even add a redirect to Grub / systemd-boot to load the Windows bootloader from the other drive example for systemd-boot.

Does not work with bitlocker though without diving into very advanced settings to control which events are considered insecure so the tpm releases the keys.

neat! i do hope i’ll have saved up for a proper PC by then so having two drives won’t be much of a hassle (currently i have a laptop)

Many laptops support a second drive

It’s a little like surgery but much easier than removing your own appendix (depending on the laptop).

my current laptop surgery experience is unscrewing all the bits around the fans to give them a good wipe from the dust, and replace thermal paste, that sounds like next level!

That’s been my experience as well. Dual boot, separate drives. Never had Windows touch it.
