they’ve been doing this for a long time. the issue you are having is the reason I keep bitlocker disabled on my desktop. on devices that can be stolen I still use it.

not rage bait, genuinely asking because thus far i’ve only heard of other “computer nerds” using Lemmy in any capacity.

My dad looks at Reddit for advice on fixing our washing machine and similar stuff. And I’ve got friends that use it as a slightly more text-based pinterest

yeah, there’s a decent amount of people that use Reddit’s popular subs that aren’t terminally online.

a nerd. I’m just wondering because I’d like it know if any normal people are leaving Reddit to use Lemmy. doesn’t look like it.

I wouldn’t have any actual problems doing the dual boot itself, its just that I don’t want to deal with not having my data synced between operating systems

allowed, yes. but switching between multiple operating systems on the same device is simply a pain in the ass.

Linux is, in general far better than windows in my experience. its just that certain must-have applications are only available on windows

yes, but lossless scaling is closed source and the developer has decided not to try adding Linux support. supposedly its because of it’s reliance on windows capture apis

I’ve loved using Linux on my steamdeck to game, but sadly I cant really switch because of lossless scaling. LSFG is too good to stop using, and there’s no Linux equivalent. not even afmf2 works on linux
