And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

On my duel booted system I still have windows. But I haven't had to use it in a couple weeks and at this point might just delete it and go fully into Linux only. Just a few windows only apps that are making me unsure. Might try windows vm.

Honestly if I played any games that had anti cheat I would run a windows vm in QEMU/KVM. Go the GrapheneOS route and sandbox the spyware (cough Google and Microsoft cough)

Some anti cheats can detect that they're running in a virtual machine and if they do, you'll probably get banned for some reason.

Isn't GrapheneOS a mobile OS? How would it work on a pc?

[–] ExploratrixLunae@kbin.social 11 points 7 months ago

I think they mean that sandboxing Windows in a VM is akin to how GrapheneOS can sandbox Google apps, not that they would use Graphene on a PC.

Happy to be corrected though!

I have a Windows install that I haven't booted up in 2 years. I didn't really use it anyway. I just had one thing to finish there, but I am lazy.

I only used it for a few weeks after getting that laptop while waiting for Linux kernel 5.8 which would finally support that hardware as nothing older booted up.

I like the idea that Linux and Windows have a duel every time your system boots and the winner gets to start up.
