Nitpicking on dual boot. I just went ahead and got myself a system76 laptop. All Linux, no whiff of msft on it. Works awesome.

You don’t need a dual boot. You don’t need windows today. In a sense that’s what the Halloween papers predicted. I don’t have a single windows device. Apple for phones and work laptop, system76 for home laptop.

I haven't used windows or even came in contact with it for a long while :)

IMO the dual boot example just shows how little they actually care and always cared.

However my whole family is on linux only and on the rare occasion where they need to run some weird software they prefer dual boot to VM, because easier or because old machine.
