    Windows as a daily driver, want to do some development / docker usage based on Linux - WSL. Also you can if I remember correctly only run windows containers on windows as well as linux containers. You cant run windows containers on a linux host

    You want to daily drive Linux but sometimes swap back to windows for some specific purpose (like specific games or applications that proton doesnt work with), Dual Boot

    Only reason I would use virtualbox over WSL is if I need to work with a fully fledged Linux OS. I havent needed to do this since WSL though

    To prep for dual booting, simplest is to have windows installed first then use the graphical installer from Linux distro which lets you select a partition to split, resize and setup GRUB etc. Very easy to do. BACK YOUR SHIT UP THOUGH

















  • I am British. I live in the UK etcetc

    This reads like a brexiteer wrote it. Why should the EU make concessions for us? We spent decades barely working with the EU, always demanding to have a special relationship. Then this idiotic country decides to leave the union.

    We are much, much smaller than the bloc. They don’t owe us shit. And things will never improve while people still demand we are treated as unique and special.

    Brexiteers liked to think the EU would be losing out if britain left. Instead, they were holding a gun to our head, and pulled the trigger. The country is in tatters and somehow thats still the EUs fault?
