For FUCK sakes....
I have a 256GB SATA SSD machine here, that I want to put a fresh install of windows on a 1TB M.2
And NOW is the fucking time windows puts out this fucking Win11 24H2 garbage... that's BSOD'ing peoples computers, having other issues, and now this.
Microsoft has definitely not been a great tenant on dual boot systems over the past year. Usually you get the occasional MBR overwrite, but it’s been pretty bad. Windows has been assuming it’s the only OS.
I fixed a windows install for an old guy, and windows patched the BIOS to prevent F11 loading the boot menu....
Never again
That seems extremely unlikely. That is controlled by the BIOS itself. Windows Update does deliver BIOS updates, but only as provided by the OEM.
I made this prediction before kind of joking, but I feel like it could still end up this way, where in the near future we’ll all be installing a FOSS AI after a fresh install whose sole job is to target the corpo AI’s on our local machines and continuously cripple them.
The guys using FOSS Ai would be the same guys using an operating system without an hostile Ai built in.
I tried and couldn't find it on my system. I run Linux btw.
This is why win10 in a vm
Does win10 vm run games well? (like power hungry games)
I don’t recommend going that direction. I think you’ll get better results with Proton and Proton-based solutions like Lutris and family.
With GPU passthrough you can get almost native performance. This requires 2 GPUs though (iGPU as second one should suffice), dunno about the input lag and stability though as I only have one GPU
Without it though? Not even worth trying
Proton is a better option unless the game needs Anti-Cheat, which most won't work in a VM, anyway
Personally I dual boot Win10 LTSC with fake credentials and some privacy tweaks for games that need to be on windows
