    I keep dual booting just because sometimes Linux does crap itself.

    I have been troubleshooting what’s going on with my kde desktop (both x11 and wayland affected) for about 8 hours no with no success. I have a zoom appointment this afternoon so I am glad I can still boot into (retch) Windows.

      What distro are you using? And what is the problem(s) you’re having?

      I ask because there’s a bunch of really smart I dividuals with extensive experience in Linux (not me, sorry) and from my experience, most people here love to help others troubleshoot Linux (along other OSs).

      I created a dual boot to test the waters for a HTPC, and haven’t had to go back once. But Linux mint did shit the bed just once recently where the wifi drivers died. Only solution was to connect a cable, download a kernel update, then back to 100%.

        Finally got mine fixed, something in .config was breaking the desktop. Narrowed it down to a few items and just didn’t restore those.
