Follow-up video to https://lemmy.world/post/32690521

Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience "hasn't been great" is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

Stuff should work correctly out of the box.

That's why Windows isn't ready for mass adoption

Average users can't even remember to set their proper monitor resolution/refresh rate in windows or in games.

Or enable XMP/Expo profiles for RAM.

Or enable RE-BAR / Hypervisor support.

Smooth brains around'.
