  • I tried dual-booting Win10 and Arch for a few months. It was problematic.

    I had to set the clock every time I switched because one expected the hardware clock to use UTC time and the other expected local time.

    NTFS on Linux is not good. The driver works, but there are fundamental differences between NTFS and Unix-like filesystems that makes cooperation difficult (e.g. NTFS uses ACLs instead of the user/group ownership and user/group/others permissions of Unix). Windows also places additional restrictions on the filesystem (e.g. NTFS supports file names that contain :, Windows doesn’t) that can completely bork the volume if violated.

    But the worst offender, and what made me nuke Windows entirely, is Windows Update. It completely fucked up the boot partition, deleted the bootloader, then died and left Windows unusable.

    These are all issues that can be solved, if you know how to solve them. My advice is to go cold turkey and delete Windows from your life.

    “Oh, it’s not from electrocution. If you fuck with the tram, the driver will get out and break your spine in half.”

    I’ve met some tram drivers who would absolutely chase down and beat the piss out of some pedestrians who don’t understand that the rail infrastructure is the rail vehicle’s domain, if given the chance.
