Could always attempt firmware updates from within a Windows VM but I suspect your mileage may vary and there’s always the risk of bricking a device when updating firmware (and a VM may increase that risk, I don’t know).

I would echo the suggestion of others, simply add a second drive, don’t dual boot, just change the target device for boot in the UEFI settings when you need to load windows. Also, I wouldn’t bother buying windows if you will only boot it for firmware updates and that’s it — waste of money — and with what MS is doing with windows as of late (ads, Recall, etc), I have personally dumped windows altogether.

sudo make me a sandwich…please

This is what happens when you overcharge for something that has no real apps and its best competitor is 1/7 the cost with a plethora of apps.

There is simply no incentive to buy the Vision Pro. It was dead on arrival.

This is the DNC's election to lose.

As it was in 2016. And lost it they did. The DNC never learns their lesson, it seems.

And 70,000,000+ voters will still excitedly, emphatically, and with all the rage they can muster against “the libs”, vote for him.

This is how democracy dies — not with a bang, but with the deluded masses.

Actions make a person horrible. Beliefs lead to a person’s actions. So if one holds horrible beliefs, it’s likely they will perform horrible actions — thus a horrible person.

The “hate the sin, not the sinner” is nonsense. I can absolutely hate the sinner if an action they commit is immoral, unethical, and/or damages other people. However, there are very few people in this world that I would say I hate.

As a workaround which does not solve your specific question, and assuming you have control over the WiFi network and the router would have to support it — set one network band on WPA3, and a different network band on WPA2. Then in Linux, connect to the WPA3 band and on windows connect to the WPA2 band.

May I ask what school work requires the use of Windows? Adobe creative cloud or something?

I remember being in the theater for the first Shrek movie and seeing parents walk out with their kids within the first 15 or so minutes. I just laughed and finished watching the wonderful movie.

The right would have to put up a very different candidate with reasonable policy ideas for me to even consider them.

The left could put up a potato against Trump and I’d join the spud revolution.

Trump is objectively horrible for the US. But what’s even more horrible is that nearly half of the country are so invested and embedded into the cult that, short of his departure from this earth, they will never accept another candidate, and even then the next in line is likely to be just as bad or worse. They want to “own the libs” so badly they are willing to destroy the country to do it.

So to answer your question as I see it, the only way we can get out of this mess is to make critical thinking education the top priority of the US — which will take decades. But the people in power do not want that and will fight it with all the entertainment news power they can muster. And if that doesn’t work, they’ll just get their pawns to storm the Capitol again and again.

Yep you’re right, it’s mainly set up for gaming (especially the Dragonized version). And the theme/style is a bit over the top.

I am with you on the laziness which is why I just accepted the default style :) I may, one day, switch to a different theme. I just wish KDE would not reset the apps I have on the application bar when I do.

I like that last statement. I might steal it 🤣

Thanks for your insights.
