You use your mouse for GRUB?
Does grub even support mouse? Wouldn’t you have to arrow down to it and hit enter?
no and yes
Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s
Most people are tech illiterate. Ask them anything but to use a pre installed system or pop in a CD that was given to them (No they can’t burn one themselves) and they’ll fail
With all the UI changes on every version in the last few years that simply isn’t true. Windows is becoming harder and harder to use even if you know what you are doing, much less if you don’t know half the computer related terminology.
You guys have windows partitions?
Not on bare metal, for this reason
Windows is installing update 2 of 48…
Yeah, that was back in the WinVista/7/8/8.1 days, it doesn’t show the number of updates any more. Plus, a lot of the updates are cumulative, they abandoned their earlier model.
And, I have to admit, the update process is a lot faster now and a lot less error prone.
Just hold the power button until it gets quiet.
… shush, don’t fight it, it will be over soon.
I always imagine this when hard rebooting any device
When the windows update bricked my OS I sighed in pure relief as I could finally stop using windows forever. As an added bonus I didn’t lose any work because the drive was fully accessible to arch… after windows said it had encrypted the drive.
Absolute trash operating system and I have zero regrets leaving.
Same, Windows also bricked my Grub install (which was on another drive). Too bad I have to use that trash for school
Ah old days… I used to boot into Windows 10 just for gaming but when Valve’s Proton matured to the point that all my games could work on Linux I very happily nuked it out of existence. But yeah if someone plays Fortnite or needs Adobe products then you still can’t do much unfortunately.
Only problem is gamepass
I only played via Steam so I wouldn’t know. I hear it’s a good deal, but I’ve made it a point to not accept such good deals from BigTech. Have gotten screwed over too many times. Remember when Google Photos allowed unlimited storage?
I haven’t booted into my windows 10 drive in months, I fear the amount of updates it will force apon me if I accidentally do.
I was in that situation a while ago, so I booted in to try and keep it up to date. Well, in reality I booted into recovery mode as it decided to die. Anyway I’m now duel booting arch and tumbleweed
That just doesn’t happen to me.
I use rEFInd.
Just pray to God you didn’t pick “Windows Boot Repair” or you’re going to spend a while recovering your partition labels…
What Windows? I got Debian, and some shit that tests my memory.
same thing happens to me but with temple os
You can quite easily set grub to remember the last picked option
That is not the problem. It’s whether I wanted to pick Windows or Linux in this reboot that’s the issue.
