I have had a Windows+Tumbleweed dual boot installed for years on a single SSD. The only precaution I take is to disable secure boot in BIOS because it is true that Windows sometimes encrypts the entire disk during updates and prevents you from accessing Linux. In short, disable secure boot and enjoy dual boot. 😉

Arch is a great DIY system where you have to decide which tools and configurations you want to use, and this is precisely what many people do not understand, leaving the system with significant security and restoration holes.

Linux@programming.dev•Which distro for a non-technical windows user?
1·4 days agoIn my opinion, the best way to get started with Linux is still through Ubuntu, because I would never recommend distributions that do not have their own repositories, as is the case with many easy-to-use Debian derivatives.

0·26 days agoMy message does not say that FOSS project leaders are MAGA, but rather that there are increasingly more FOSS projects with MAGA leaders, such as Brave.

2·26 days agoI’m gonna re iterate what I said about the FOSS community the first time I came across this.
As a whole FOSS has a nazi bar problem and it needs to be addressed.
That’s what I think. Fascism and MAGA ideas are increasingly being introduced into FOSS projects through the leaders of those projects. The biggest example is Brave Software with Brendan Eich and Peter Thiel contributing money to Brave Software. Peter Thiel is a character who believes in a single world government using AI outside of any democracy.

I agree with you, but for Linux-based mobile phones to advance, pressure would need to be put on large financial institutions and instant messaging companies to allow their applications to run outside the Android ecosystem. Regarding the brands you have chosen, I think it is also important to directly support EU-based companies such as SUSE, which focus on open source and support Linux development projects such as openSUSE. As for hardware companies, there are several that specialise in distributing hardware optimised for Linux, such as Slimbook and Tuxedo, but I believe it is more important to support companies that focus their business on the development of FOSS code than companies whose business is to distribute hardware manufactured outside the EU.
