Oh that's why my Linux instance suddenly stopped working. I will have to look into this

Windows, not even once

I wish it could be so, I need both for work. I have always required a laptop with two separate hdd slots, but Windows tends to mess up everything anyway, and then Linux get the blame for being unstable. I also have a fun thing where the RTC becomes out of sync because win and Linux handle time differently. This can mess up 2FA among other things, so that's great😅

I think Windows will have to go on a VM instead because it is so unstable.

You can set Windows to use UTC for the hardware clock (or have Linux use local time shudder). Just need to set a registry key:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

Yup! Windows did an update and hosed your boot record. I don't even use the same partition for the Windows and Linux boot sectors and Windows still breaks it occasionally. My solution was to just not log into Windows anymore.

Same here. I tried the dual boot life for a while but eventually I gave up. On Windows, of course.

I will eventually need to log back into Windows next time I want to design something in Fusion 360, since there aren't any stable solutions for Linux, but that's literally the only thing I need Windows for.

I installed it through lutris and it seemed to work fine, but I didn't test for long

I was dual booting because of rocket League.
The well epic did an epic and so I stopped. My computer is set to boot to the kubuntu drive. I have to make it boot to windows if I need that drive.

I miss drinking and tanking my MMR with buddies.. but windows. :/ lol

Good to know I'm saving myself a pain in the ass

You can play Rocket League on Linux with proton.

[-] 7u5k3n@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That game is no longer worth the hassle.
