I dual boot with Fedora but rarely ever boot into Windows, last week was 1 of those times and seeing the menu render on right click in explorer had me shutting down in frustration.

How did we forget about deferred rendering, offscreen buffers, etc. And why is it so darn slow? It’s a deplorable experience and it’s obvious strictly Windows users have become desensitized and numb to it all.

on my last machine i maybe booted windows 5 times.

when switching to the new machine i realized i did not actually need windows at all already for 2-3 years straight.

so now I don't have dual boot. only arch with kde.

I maintain multi OS documentation at pon.wiki and it’s just easier for me this way as it’s distraction free, synced to a NAS. I could setup a VM or another system but I’ve always maintained a separate disk as it’s economical with licensing.

At 1 point I was using https://looking-glass.io/ but half of my time is spent doing digital art and couldn’t part with the discrete gpu full time.

I had to take screenshots and that was as frustrating where it just works in macOS and all Linux DEs but Microsoft broke that as well.
