032 Why I Abandoned Dual Boot and Finally Gained Back Freedom.jpg

Read the story of my ventures using dual boot with Windows 10 and Linux. Is it really the best of both worlds—or an inconvenience holding you back? These are the reasons why I finally deleted Linux.

My Journey Towards Using Dual Boot

Dual-booting has, for an incredibly long time, been the way I had my computers set up.

To be honest, I am moderately obsessed with operating systems that look good and work well. (Okay, maybe not moderately, as such.)

Therefore, I obviously found my eye stuck on several Linux distributions over the years! The family of Windows operating systems had been my primary driver—for everything I do—since the beginning of time.

Quick: What is Dual Boot?

Dual-booting with Windows and Linux is the most common dual-boot configuration.

Fortunately, you’re not limited to installing just one operating system to your computer’s storage drive.

To demonstrate, multi-booting is the way in which you can boot into one of the installed OSs. A menu appearing when you turn on your computer is usually how you would select the OS.

In addition, perhaps the most widely-used form of this is dual boot: having 2 installed OSs to boot, typically Windows and Linux.
