Everyone saying you need two harddrives needs to know: all you need are 2 efi partitions: one for windows one for linux… You can have them on the same drive. It’s nonstandard, but I have never found a machine where it doesn’t work.

I would say hans reiser enters the room… But he didn’t…

I always thought be was Varicose vein/venous insufficiency Linux… At least that is what it is for me

I think “technical” is a bit of a stretch… But who doesn’t like a good cat meme?

Some people want to watch the world burn.

In order to improve your accuracy might I suggest:

alias i='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias s='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias sl='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias ll='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
...

Etcetera. It will make sure you are punished for typos

My company uses a VPN where the client is so slow inside the VM it is functionally useless. 99%of the time I can still get away with it because my connection amounts to a couple of telnet sessions, but when I actually need data or a spreadsheet or something transferred local, I need to fire up windows directly to snag it.

Sonicwall has a VPN client that will run fine on Linux (or so they say), but the company won’t switch over to it. And sonicwall considers the windows only version eol and won’t add a Linux version

I got tired of windows updates breaking my dual boot. After some research I found that it’s possible to have two uefi partitions: one for windows and one for Linux. It’s not standard but there is nothing expressly written into the efi spec that prohibits it. And it just works. My bios doesn’t care, and works with them both just fine.

I only use Windows for that 1% of business stuff I can’t accomplish in a vm under windows. Invariably after I boot into widows once ever 3 months it installs so.e update and would kill my ability to boot into Linux. Since setting up 2 partitions I haven’t had this problem.

That’s fine. I’m use to being unrepresented in the arj, lha, and uc2 crew

I suppose it is tar version dependent, but on any recent Linux version I have used, you can just tar xvf <tar_name.tar.{z,gz,xz,etc}> and it will automatically figure out if it is compressed, what tools were used to compress it, and how to decompress it.

But you are right, x and c are mutually exclusive.

Purple cables go in, blue cables go to the cloud as you can see.

Or - hear me out - or it is a bit of cotton on the end of an Ethernet cable.

Sure! I’ll hire you without even answering the questions. Of course I’m not the op, I dont work in the it field (any more) and none of my open positions involve programming… But you have a job with my company whenever you need one.

Not one person in the comments has attempted to answer any of the questions either.
