It happens 🤷

Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s

You guys have windows partitions?

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?

Me with only linux installed: not a problem i face, no

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.

Just hold the power button until it gets quiet.

... shush, don't fight it, it will be over soon.

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.

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.

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?

Windows is installing update 2 of 48...

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.

That just doesn't happen to me.

I use rEFInd.

People are still using GRUB to dual boot? It’s not 2010 anymore. systemd-boot is the objectively superior choice.

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

What Windows? I got Debian, and some shit that tests my memory.

you don’t have it default to linux..?

Takes gazillion years to boot

same thing happens to me but with temple os

You can quite easily set grub to remember the last picked option

does anyone know how to actually reorganze a grub menu? every time I try to Google it I only get results for some old software that hasnt been updated in over a decade 8 years. its a huge pain to have to select the distro I want every time just because its not first

Does grub even support mouse? Wouldn't you have to arrow down to it and hit enter?

First mistake was having windows installed lol.

lmao imagine not using MINIX as your main OS

No issue here. If I make a mistake in grub, I end up in memtest.

Is her wall made out of glass?

The same applies for the other way around when I need Windows for something.

I apparently magically attract computers with a horribly slow UEFI so it takes a while to reboot regardless of the OS.

Ahh it's the Java laptop.

What is this "Windows" thou speakest of? I use grub just to experiment with kernel options and select different kernels without writing too often to the efi eeprom

I use uefi to change boot order between openSUSE and holoiso 👍

Just accept the winning side.
