  • I don’t think the world is black or white. Of course Microsoft can make bad choices and prioritize profit, but Microsoft isn’t a person or and entity. MS is an enterprise driven by people that work there.

    Linux community or any other community can also make bad choices, afterall it’s also people-driven and people are flawed.

    I don’t excuse MS for really bad choices, but also don’t blame it. I just think that’s better to see the world complex as it is, not by judging stuff as ‘bad’ or ‘good’.









  • what are the disadvantages of using a shared home (yes with a shared profile, I still want to access my Steam library from Arch if I want that)

    Well, a disavantage I can think of is that if your apps are in different versions, it may be messy. Also, if you share a DE between both environments, it also may become messy

    Why don’t you try using only one system and see what happens?

    Another thing that concerns me is GRUB, usually when I’m dualbooting with Windows, the Linux distro takes care of the grub stuff, should only a single distro take care of GRUB? or I need to install “the grub package” on both? Do both distros need separate boot partitions? Or a single one for a single distro (like a main distro) will suffice?

    Only one system taking care of grub, pls. Grub is already a pain, don’t make it even more painful. If you’re going to config grub, let PopOS handles it. Only install it after Arch and everything should be fine

    If it does not recognize Arch, you may wanna enable os-prober at grub conf, but that’s it

    Another off topic question, my HDD is partitioned to oblivion, can I safely delete ALL partitions? Including the EFI one? I’m not on a MacBook, a typical 2014 Toshiba that’s my laptop

    If you’re ok with losing all the data, it’s okay to wipe out everything and let the distro install itself alone
