Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s
You guys have windows partitions?
I keep dual windows on laptop for rare occasions cuz I don't like dealing with passthrough for special USB cables that require their own drivers on VMs

Skill issue. Can't click a Windows entry if you don't have one!
Can't click on Windows, if have no Windows 😏
You use your mouse for GRUB?
Ah old days... I used to boot into Windows 10 just for gaming but when Valve's Proton matured to the point that all my games could work on Linux I very happily nuked it out of existence. But yeah if someone plays Fortnite or needs Adobe products then you still can't do much unfortunately.

I haven't booted into my windows 10 drive in months, I fear the amount of updates it will force apon me if I accidentally do.
I was in that situation a while ago, so I booted in to try and keep it up to date. Well, in reality I booted into recovery mode as it decided to die. Anyway I'm now duel booting arch and tumbleweed

How?
No dual boot here, Windows is confined to a VM. Even in the ancient times I had dual boot, last century, Linux was always the default.
There's also the possibility of selecting the last booted OS by default instead of a specific entry

I'm not into programming, and I'm an LGBTQIA Ally. Just genuinely curious. Are 90% of Linux users really young white femboys with anime body pillows? Or is Lemmy just a heavily skewed demographic?
It’s mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and I’m a Linux user who is young and white but definitely not a femboy. I would say 90% of Linux users probably know how to program though.

Dual booters are fem-boys with anime body pillows.
Those brave enough to take the full plunge and single boot Linux are fem-men with anime body pillows.

Windows is installing update 2 of 48...
Yeah, that was back in the WinVista/7/8/8.1 days, it doesn't show the number of updates any more. Plus, a lot of the updates are cumulative, they abandoned their earlier model.
And, I have to admit, the update process is a lot faster now and a lot less error prone.
it doesn't show the number of updates
Huh didn't think of that.

When the windows update bricked my OS I sighed in pure relief as I could finally stop using windows forever. As an added bonus I didn't lose any work because the drive was fully accessible to arch.... after windows said it had encrypted the drive.
Absolute trash operating system and I have zero regrets leaving.

People are still using GRUB to dual boot? It’s not 2010 anymore. systemd-boot is the objectively superior choice.
I just unplug the exposed SATA cable from one ssd and plug it into the other SSD. I am the bootloader

Just pray to God you didn't pick "Windows Boot Repair" or you're going to spend a while recovering your partition labels...
