Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Apparently dual-booting works fine with Windows - it’s other Linux distros it has issues with!
Tiny11 Core is a real Windows, and yes it can be activated with a retail license, no issues. Not sure how it’ll fare with VR stuff though, they removed quite a lot of stuff out of it.
There’s also Windows X-Lite that looks interesting, but I haven’t tested this one yet.
Oh I probably wouldn’t run VR on the windows VM, but on Linux under WINE/Proton. The Windows VM would be for the Windows-only stuff (it seemed important at the time but now I can’t remember what exactly I would be using it for 😆).
If dual booting with Windows works fine, then I might give it a go. Probably just add it to my list of many things though 🙂
Sorry to be a clueless n00b butting into your conversation, but what is X-Lite? Is it FOSS, is it an offshoot of microsoft itself? Is it a windows subsystem? Do subsystems replace traditional partition-based dual booting these days?
The last time I had a dual booting system was in like 2002 so a lot has changed.
No, it’s not FOSS. It’s a debloated Windows, there are others like Windows Ghost Spectre or Tiny Windows etc
