Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.
After trying Windows 11 for a while, I just gave up and installed Kubuntu on my computer. I still use a Windows VM for some things, but I make sure to firewall the shit out of it lol
I switched to Nobara. I still got to dual boot 10 for a few games but I’m in no rush to get the install set up. I tried 11 and its just pure ensitifacation.
I’m actually scared to dual boot. I’ve heard too many stories of Windows updates messing up the bootloader
I haven’t switched or started dual-booting yet because I haven’t had time, but I’ve read the recommendation that the best way to do dual or even multiple boot is to have separate physical OS drives and select which one to boot from with the BIOS boot selector. Smaller SSD drives are pretty cheap these days, especially if you get them used on ebay or whatever. I picked up a Samsung 240 with 0% wearout for like $20 bucks.
Wndow’s will constantly change it’s self to be first on the boot order both in EFI and on the BIOS. It’s a pain in the ass to override it every time and it will switch back every time. I haven’t had it blow up recently but have had issues with older versions.
It also hangs my BIOS every time it switches the boot order without consent :/
Kubuntu is a very solid choice!
