I wonder what percent of Linux users dual boot. ~~I don't think I ever have~~ I'm just remembering getting a laptop from an employer and going through the effort of partitioning the disk drive down to a bare minimum for Windows and setting up dual boot - I don't remember actually booting into the Windows side more than a couple of times. This would have been over a decade ago. Either I've had a Windows-only machine supplied by my employer, which I wasn't allowed to mess with at that level; or I've had a Linux machine. Even the computers I've bought that came with Windows pre-installed, I haven't even booted into Windows before wiping the storage and installing Linux.
I'm not some sort of purist; Windows just makes me angry when I use it - I've just always found it a frustrating experience, so I've never bothered with dual booting.
It makes me wonder what the distribution is. Are the majority of Linux users dual-booters?
I used to dual boot for some games. Mainly VR stuff. But Windows is always a hassle and super slow.
VR gaming on Linux isn't ready, huh? Is it the drivers for the hardware, or game availability?
VR is not good on Linux lmao. I have a valve index and when I used it on linux, it had super bright lights on the edges of the display. I ignored this and played for like 30 mins and after 1 month of no VR usage (busyness), I tested it on windows again and now the edges of my displays in my headset appear to be permanently tinged slightly lighter than the rest of the screen.
I'm not using my headset on linux again until people spend more time coding, because I don't want to permanently ruin expensive gear that I have lmao.
