In my country WFH is being enshrined as a legal right. And people say the party of trade unions is center-right.

I think it’s better to have a work computer and home computer. Not just for ease of switching to Linux, but also because doing anything personal on your work computer is a security risk.

I feel like when people have a work computer (running Windows usually) the switch to Linux is generally far easier. Work is the most important thing someone might need Windows for.

Problem is that Mint and Zorin don’t take security as seriously as they should, and so I’m worried about the risks that would pose.

Plus Zorin is a bit problematic for other reasons.

You think choosing your Linux distro is bad, imagine having to choose your electricity, water, internet, phone, banking, and insurance provider as well as your local councillor, workplace, school, career, entertainment, childcare, car, house, food, etc.

This “love choice, hate choosing” is a really valuable thing to understand.

I think the hardest part of moving over is the temptation to dual-boot. Linux is better, but if you have Windows 11 installed and you need to boot into it for something or other, you’re never going to use Linux.

And then there are the challenges of setting up a VM in Linux.,

Ramping up supply costs money, and the AI bubble is on the verge of popping. They’d need to know that this demand would be sticking around before investing in higher fab capacity.

Fast-boot normally involves saving Windows to a swap partition and basically just half-hibernating. If that swap partition is shared with Linux it’d get overwritten and the boot method would swap to the slower one.

As far as I know there’s no way to make a swap partition be exclusive to Linux or vice-versa.

Only if you have a swap partition, and if you dual-boot then that swap partition is gonna be overwritten all the time.
