Yea the SATA SSD suggestion comes from my own experience where

  • NVMe slots in motherboards are in short supply
  • The real-world OS performance difference between NVMe and SATA SSD for Linux are basically imperceptible
  • If you're doing work that needs fast storage you're gonna have it on a separate fast NVMe anyway, not the OS install disk

Personally, as a long time macOS and Linux user, I find that Windows 11 is the best version of Windows I've ever used. I'm continually impressed by it. The aesthetics finally have solid polishing, the new Windows Terminal ships by default, WSL2 is a breeze to install. Graphics support for stuff like HDR has gotten better. Everything just works. A lot of these were features generally available with Win10 and earlier but now it all comes out of the box. A lot more cohesion.

For context, I usually run Windows Pro, I don't touch Home versions at all.

Partitioning a single disk is by far the worst method. Your gonna end up with messed up partitions and boot loader BS because both os's, especially Windows, will always act like they're the only ones present. Just look at any Linux new user forum and it's endless posts by people who screwed up their partition

A SATA SSD is dirt cheap and your PC likely already has ports for it so just avoid the headache, get a separate disk and Ensure that the new os doesn't put boot files on the wrong disk by unplugging all disks except the one you're installing into

Telling new users to touch Arch-anything is horrible. Plain old vanilla Ubuntu has by far the most easily accessible support. Google any issue and there's a solution already on Stack Exchange. Especially relevant to sticking with LTS versions; 24.04, 22.04, etc.. LTS stands for "long term support" and that's what you want as a normal user. "Latest kernel" and "latest drivers" is a load of BS. You don't need the latest. You need the most stable and most compatible. That's what you get with LTS.

Going into anything Linux or anything dual boot and expecting that you're gonna have the same experience you get with plain single-install Windows is a huge mistake. This is not a drop-in replacement for your Windows. It's not a drop in upgrade for your PC. It's not going to be better in any possible way that what you have right now. Nothing is better with Linux. If you want a better desktop OS then you need to get macOS. If you want a better non-desktop OS then you get Linux. If you want to play games you use Windows. If you go into Linux thinking it's gonna be a free version of Windows you're gonna be in for a rude awakening and you're gonna have a bad time.

It's amazing how Windows users continually botch the idea of "switching to Linux"

No one should be "switching to Linux". If you want to play games, then leave your Windows installation in tact.

Just throw in a separate SSD (SATA or NVMe, doesn't matter) and install Linux to it and try it for every non-gaming task. To be simple, grab the latest Ubuntu LTS which should be 24.04 at this point I think. Get a decent drive like a 1TB Crucial mx500 or similar. For good measure make sure your Windows drive is unplugged when you install Linux to your new drive.

And that's all you gotta do. When you want to play games, boot into Windows. Otherwise just use the Ubuntu. Or, just keep using Windows. The petty grievances that people have on every Windows OS update are always the most silly things. It's not that bad. Never has need. Don't like it? Get a Mac.

I daily drive all three (macOS, Linux, Windows) and have never had a single issue because I use each system and os for what it excels at. macOS daily drivers, Linux servers, Windows gaming PC. It's that simple.

Also, if youre going to dual-boot, I advise installing a second SSD to install Linux on and setting that one as the primary boot device after you install Windows. The reason for this is that if the Windows drive is primary, every Windows update will make the Windows boot loader highest priority, whereas if Linux and its boot loader are on a separate drive, Windows updates cant fuck with it and Linuxs bootloaders have no trouble finding Windows.

If you dont do it that way, youre going to frequently have to fix things.

This is 100% true I wish more people took this advice

If you use Win 11, please explain the point of File Explorer tabs. I don't get the hype. It seems less useful than WordPad. Isn't it better to see the contents of multiple folders at the same time? Can you drag files between tabs? Can you drag the tabs out into their own windows (like web browser tabs?).
Idk you should be using the Windows Terminal and WSL2 anyway so it doesn't matter

More like the women who want agency are upset about this. This is just more of Florida pushing their Christofacist views and our resident American minded neolibs are showing their ass here believing that their infantilisation of adults is actually progressive when no it's incredibly conservative and they're just following the footsteps of Sharia law countries more than other developed countries.

If a legal adult gets kicked out of their parents house at 18 what are they supposed to do until they're 21??

Average rent in Florida is $1900 month ($22,800/year)
https://www.redfin.com/state/Florida/rental-market

Minimum wage in Florida is $10/hr
That's $1600/month full time ($19,200/year)

https://www.floridajobs.org

Average wages for a stripper are $54,000 ($4500/month) up to $84,000

https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/stripper-salary-SRCH_KO0,8.htm

Clearly there's something wrong here
