Cheers, doubling down on the question threw a flag XD

Why are you so concerned? No im not the founder, just one of the first employees they hired of the few we have. FWIW I’m under no obligation written or implied to approach this device as anything other than a personal pc on which i also conduct work.

LMAO I’m 1/3 of the company. If IT has a problem with it I’ll just just go scream at a mirror.

Not worth it in terms of budget. Both sides will be using cpu rather comparably. Linux side will def be using more gpu. I also can’t justify purchasing two computers with the company. The hardware is kind of a bonus from them and my personal budget needs to go elsewhere but I’m free to use/modify the computer for personal use as long as i continue to deliver on work. The company is (very) small enough i can get this kind of benefit every very long ince in a while😁

I think the consensus in this thread is that my issue was centered around using a partitioned drive for both instead of separate drives which is my current plan. If things still get whacky I’ll try stronger approaches.

My history is specifically windows attacking linux/bootloader so i’m not concerned I’ll be risking any work stuff as long as they aren’t futzing with each other’s storage.

I also have full control over windows group policies (admin in general) so i can really change it to my liking and minimize windows damage from the software side. There’s lots of software solutions for issues around storage use.

Furthermore, my old pc is going to be a home sync server so it will handle shared data to avoid the need to fish through the opposed drive.

Hrmm… I could try vm but i want full power either way. Any issues that arise with commercial CAD and cod software would be a headache. I have little experience with vm and it seems like it’s negligibly different in terms of headache than having a dual boot system. I’m not short on drive space or anything. I do need to have some code dev in either os as well

Noted for the future!!! Thanks

Windows for work exclusively. Linux for everything else. I’m also trading out Linux for performance and compatibility with programs in the hopes i can fully switch over eventually. I basically want two computers but using the hardware of one.

Oh that’s neat! Maybe down the one i can pick one up if i start traveling for work XD

Dual boot is my preference. I want either OS to be able to do system management and direct hardware access.

Cool thanks for the info! Ill put win on sata 0 and install before putting the second drive in!

The hardware switch idea would be to preclude bios boot leader selection altogether

Oh absolutely not. I would lose that faster than my car keys

Historically I’ve had issues with windows(update) blasting grub config leading to Linux delete and painful recovery of windows boot

Thanks! I’ll try this first.

Rip… Both drives will be the same hw. But as long as there always in the same order in bios/bootloader it should be fine.

Yeah it’s weird how people holding bigoted views are also often easily offended. People are people ig…

If your jokes made around stereotypes in queer communities are offending people the jokes are probably just veiled insults. You can do things, you just need to be at least a little versed in the community and understand how to make respectful jokes instead of demeaning ones.

“Several months ago” … Not exactly suggesting it would happen over night. Recognizing a schism and supporting eachother through the changes in life is preferable to doing so depressed and hatefully, no?

Yeah, this is going to be hell for flight attendants having to deal with rightfully upset passengers.

I like the Sawyer since it’s carefree in terms of water source. Takes some maintenance though, just follow instructions. I started with the mini but suggest the standard if you can afford it.

Smash! It’s bugel chips coated in chocolate. Very good, but i can’t by it cause I’d eat the whole bag and get sick.

Yes, 100%. If company is awful enough to the creator then I’d even be ethically in agreement without purchase but just donate direct to creator or whatever. Though risk varies more with legality in the latter case.
