Ahh it's the Java laptop.

You can quite easily set grub to remember the last picked option

That is not the problem. It's whether I wanted to pick Windows or Linux in this reboot that's the issue.

BoastfulDaedra ,

Just pray to God you didn't pick "Windows Boot Repair" or you're going to spend a while recovering your partition labels...

Ah old days... I used to boot into Windows 10 just for gaming but when Valve's Proton matured to the point that all my games could work on Linux I very happily nuked it out of existence. But yeah if someone plays Fortnite or needs Adobe products then you still can't do much unfortunately.

Only problem is gamepass

I only played via Steam so I wouldn't know. I hear it's a good deal, but I've made it a point to not accept such good deals from BigTech. Have gotten screwed over too many times. Remember when Google Photos allowed unlimited storage?

laurelraven ,

You use your mouse for GRUB?

bastion ,

That just doesn't happen to me.

I use rEFInd.

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Just hold the power button until it gets quiet.

... shush, don't fight it, it will be over soon.

I always imagine this when hard rebooting any device

Not on bare metal, for this reason

When the windows update bricked my OS I sighed in pure relief as I could finally stop using windows forever.
As an added bonus I didn't lose any work because the drive was fully accessible to arch.... after windows said it had encrypted the drive.

Absolute trash operating system and I have zero regrets leaving.

Same, Windows also bricked my Grub install (which was on another drive).
Too bad I have to use that trash for school

iwan2c ,

same thing happens to me but with temple os

What Windows? I got Debian, and some shit that tests my memory.

HouseWolf ,

I haven't booted into my windows 10 drive in months, I fear the amount of updates it will force apon me if I accidentally do.

I was in that situation a while ago, so I booted in to try and keep it up to date. Well, in reality I booted into recovery mode as it decided to die. Anyway I'm now duel booting arch and tumbleweed

Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s

Most people are tech illiterate. Ask them anything but to use a pre installed system or pop in a CD that was given to them (No they can't burn one themselves) and they'll fail

taladar ,

With all the UI changes on every version in the last few years that simply isn't true. Windows is becoming harder and harder to use even if you know what you are doing, much less if you don't know half the computer related terminology.
