    O no, tinkering with the ui is a delight, especially when compared to windows! I love the amount of customisation you get.

    And yeah, dual booting can be a pain, I had to learn a lot more than I thought I did to get everything setup reasonably, unfortunately it’s also kind of a requirement for a lot of people who are thinking of swapping but need to give it a test drive first. I would have had a lot less issues without a dual boot, but I also need my computer for work so can’t really go all in until I’m sure I can do everything I need first.

    Also yes I agree, I am really excited for the future of Linux, even just having been using it and reading and watching Linux content for a short time I can already sense it’s moving in a good direction. Very excited for wayland, not having different resolution scaling on different screens is another nitpick.

      Virtual machines are incredibly useful for this.

      The first time I installed linux, I dual booted and never used linux because i just knew windows. The VM “Boxes” is incredibly easy to use. There’s barely any reason to boot windows on metal :D

      Same sized screens for the win 😄

      I use paperwm, no idea if I could even handle two screens with it 😅
