     @Clippy My take on dual-booting is that you can't serve two masters, you will love one and hate the other, or despise one and love the other. Every day that you don't boot an OS is a day more of shit to deal with when you next do boot it, especially Windows.
     
     Well, these days I don't update my system for like half a year or more so there's nothing to bother me on boot, but it's the same damn base problem: Generally system update means kernel update, kernel update means restart, but I want to update AUR stuff before the restart, just to save headaches, and AUR stuff is generally a headache, especially due to the amount of shit that's been removed from there that I still use frequently. (At some point I need to just set up my own local repository to point at for those things + the handful of stuff I actually wrote PKGBUILDs for.)

     Instead of partitioning to add a second OS to my laptop and just picking one at/to boot (or however tf you say it, make comtutor go go by picking the thingy when words happen at you), which I did years ago to play with an open source chromebook OS dupe, I realised that I have an old fuck-around laptop and old tower I could reformat with linux / Ubuntu / whatever....
