Follow-up video to https://lemmy.world/post/32690521

Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience "hasn't been great" is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

Thank you for including the spoiler. This tech vlogger's irresponsible headline would normally have earned a downvote from me.

So a tech youtuber didn't both to do the very basics of research before trying and failing at something? Color me surprised.
