    No one who wants to boot into multiple OS’s should want to have them on the same physical drive. That’s complete idiocy. Zero redundancy, lose all of them if the drive dies.

    New OS, new disk. Every time.

      That’s cool that you do it that way. But why do you care how other people do it? And like… You seem really fucking emotional about it.

        🤣 playing the old “emotional” card so soon? You have to at least wait until the person says something in a remotely even frustrated way before trying that old chestnut.

      I’m glad that you have extra income to buy drive per OS to insert into your PC, but there are these things that are called laptops, and sometimes people have them, and sometimes they have quite old ones and non-extensible ones and you get where I’m going with this?

      No one […] should want

      The moment you’ve written those words, you’ve already lost. Because they obviously do want it, and operating systems have supported it for decades, which means it’s perfectly reasonable for people to expect it to continue.

        MacOS doesn’t. Windows doesn’t. The only one that does is Linux, the one that no one in the grand scheme of things wants to use.

        There are multitudes of ways to use Linux on windows machines already. You can’t install windows onto a machine that already has an OS installed no doubt got a multitude of security reasons.

          MacOS doesn’t.

          Anymore.

          Windows doesn’t.

          Anymore.

          The only one that does is Linux, the one that no one in the grand scheme of things wants to use.

          So you think making it harder to use is the right path for greater adoption? Bold strategy.

            It’s not making it harder to use. No one who knows what dual booting is should be dumb enough to want 2 or more OS’s on a single drive.

              Ooh, active hostility toward people who might consider switching. Another bold strategy.
