No surprise.
And all B. Gates can think of is more vaccines to kill mankind with.
Borking of grub.
Sounds like something Lewis Carroll would write.
I use Manjaro Linux with doesn’t use Secure Boot so my duel boots were/are OK well until Microsoft finds a way to screw it up
The best way is not to dual-boot, but to run Windows in a VM under Linux.
How does Windows perform under a VM under Linux? Can it do any heavy lifting?
Why even use Microsoft at all?
For a few games I can’t run on Linux
“Borking of grub.”
I heard Biden wanders through the White House at night muttering that phrase.
Borking of grub., Borking of grub., Borking of grub.
I love that Microsoft = Bill Gates to almost everyone. You know Gates hasn’t been associated with Microsoft for over 10 years, right?
It really depends on your hardware, I guess.
My workplace uses 5,000-6,000 Windows VMs for some serious work. But the hardware is quite beefy as well.
Because in the business world, Microsoft owns the desktop. Before retiring, I was an analytical chemist. ALL high-end chemical analysis instrumentation runs on top of Windows. Gas chromatograph, mass spectrometry, etc, etc.
Ny wife is also a chemist, and is still working from home part time. The proprietary data analysis software she uses runs on, guess what, Windows. Since I am her in-house hardware/software support that means that I run Windows as well.
Once she actually retires, all machines will become Linux the first week...
My games and photoshop and other windows only software do not run well under vm unfortunately. I dual boot into windows 7 and don’t allow windows down to connect to internet.
For those who don’t want to install and use Virtual Machine did you run across a solution to this MS Update problem? Other than risking the potential chaos of System Restore?
I use W7 and W10, and my older system doesn’t use Secure Boot, so this won’t affect me or my dual boots with Linux, but still, it just goes to show how Gates and Microsoft wants to dominate everything. I’m almost to the point where I will not even need Windows so when that time comes, I’ll be solely Linux. Forget Gates.
I bought a couple of new laptops and want to do just this. I’m officially done with Office too, forever. I need to come up to speed on Linux. It’s time.
Anyone know a good place to get educated about it in a more or less elegant fashion?
Believe it, or not, Most programs run FASTER running through VM on Linux. It even BOOTS in about 10% of the time it would a normal boot.. at least on my system.
Most of that is because Linux isn’t the resource hog Winblows is.
