Windows 7 used to thunderfuck grub at random every few updates just to keep everyone on their toes.
I still might try and use Linux as a host for the windows VMS but I’d probably still need to keep a dual boot around can’t risk not having it in case of something that wouldn’t work with USB pass through.
Only reason I use windows is for work. All the software for industrial controls stuff is windows only. But luckily its so shit at being updated that I still have to keep a windows xp VM around for some stuff so hopefully I’ll be retired before I need to use windows 11+
Are you saying that it does work with open suse tumbleweed with the stock kernel?
I havent run opensuse much as a server but am always looking at it and Arch.
Probably going to switch to Arch eventually because the arch wiki is just the best docs I’ve found.
If you’re not relying on say a closed source driver that needs to compile for each kernel update you should have no issues there.
If you set up btrfs snapshots to run on updates then you could always just roll back if there’s a bad one. That’s how my arch laptop is set up.
Personally wouldn’t use Debian testing over arch or tumbleweed though. I think there’s something to be said for being on the same packages as the maintaners and not a testing version.
