I really want to transition to Linux but the dual boot issues that risk bricking my windows installation (I really have to use for work and for gaming) really put me off.. Is it even fixable? I'm not blaming Linux but just wondering if there's even a solution for what (from what I read) seems quite an serious issue and a deterrent for adoption..
Which dual boot issues? I've been dual booting Windows 10 and Fedora 41 for about eight months now, with no issues. Both are on the same drive. They're both sharing the same EFI partition.
The best option, I think, is to have them on separate drives (not separate partitions), and select which one to boot from UEFI.
Can someone more plugged in than me show me what I gotta do to get that 'Discord Wayland sharing' working? I literally installed Vencord a month ago because every time I tried to share a window or my screen on discord it would hard crash.
just download the canary of linux (beta branch). Itll come to stable after. https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035675191-Discord-Testing-Clients
The fact is, if my favourite game doesn't run on Linux, Linux is dead to me.
Similarly to some software that has no direct alternatives.
Which sucks.
That wouldn't be a problem for me if it weren't for the dual boot issues.. I could easily switch to windows when I feel like gaming but no way I'm going to risk bricking my windows installation by installing Linux.. Feels like an conspiracy lol when there's a safe way to dual boot let me know
Use a separate drive for each OS.
The real problem for me is that there's nothing Windows can't do for me that Linux can. So even with a dual-boot setup I just get too lazy to switch, and end up using Windows exclusively.

Linux can keep your data away from Microsoft
His favorite game Is always one that doesn't work on Linux /s
What is your favourite game?
Why you ask? You don't trust my technical ability to look things up and try shit out?
Sending personal data to Microsoft to see how famous I can become.
On Linux I feel really lonely and unwanted.
Great contra-argument to "this doesn't run on Linux". Some of you are insufferable.
