As long as your kids currend and future friends will be on Windows there will be potential issues. There’s also the matter of familiarizing yourself with an environment that monopolyze the professional environment…

It says they do but they kinda mostly don’t. I’m playing from linux on my old steam windows folder on a very much NTFS drive and I never had an issue.

Dual boot 100% no doubts. Don’t unilaterally impose Linux on your Son, he will likely be cut off from many socialization on current and future popular multiplayer games that may or may not run smoothly on Linux.

Don’t other people’s banks have web portals?

Sadly, some finance services are app only, app-that-don’t-run-without-Play-Store only.

It souds like this is literally your first step outside of windows.

Don’t listen to any of these people, stick to dual boot, especially if your quality of life (I mean your hobbies) are tied to mastery of a known ecosystem of specific softwares.

Linux can work but you will need to compromise, and you will royally fuck up and unless you are embracing troubleshooting as an hobby you won’t like it.

Dual booting allows you to have a safe harbor for when things go south.

I’ve had a dual boot for around 6 years and only this year I have, not deleted windows but set up my boot to default to linux (it used to be last OS booted).

I had to give up the quality of some audio filters for streaming, I coud not for the life of me figure out how to run a couple of specific games, I’m unable to uncompress big .exe archives (yarrr) in certain specific disks and after a year of smooth daily sailing I had my drivers go nuts and had to dive in and fix it, doing research on old shitty reliable windows.

This isn’t not rock solid

I suspect you may have gone at it in a bit of a brutal way that I’m not sure is entirely effective, but then again I guess in this community there are better judge for that than myself…

How did you degoogle exactly?

I flashed a degoogle OS (Lineage) and immediatly flashed MicroG, before the first boot.

I was under the assumption this was the proper way to do it, but it’s been years at this point, maybe I misremember or maybe stuff have changed.

I have MicroG and don’t get those. I’m not sure it’s what you are looking for…

You are one of those hardcore the uglier the better. I respect that.

No, no and… yes.

I thought that was honestly the joke.

Thanks for the heads up, yea I’m well aware of that, I use it to, well… sync, my phone pictures with my PC.

I will probably start with this approach and see where it leads me, thanks!

Docker configs, sensitive documents, pictures, a limited amount of video files…

Notwithstanding that running an LLM is still more expensive than a search engine, in any reasoning around running an LLM you must include the training and, most of all, the incentive as a consumer you are giving to further training.

It’s like arguing that cooking a steak has negligible environmental impact. The point is the whole industry meant to provide you the steak in the first place.

Memes came and go and this picture is still somehow relevant. How old is it? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 10+ years!

No I’m not. Other questions?

Sure, or you could send an email to the leading international institution on the matter to get a very accurate answer!

Is it the most reasonable course of action? No. Is it more reasonable than waste a gazillion Watt so you can maybe get some better keywords to then paste in a search engine? Yes.
