Dual Boot Linux & Windows.

I hardly ever see anyone do it right. And there is just two tricks that make a completely new experience out of it. I am not sharing it with you to be nice, I am sharing because I am curious if you're already doing it.

1. Install on a second hard drive, not a different partition. Learn which button to hold on the boot screen to select the boot drive. You can still chain-load via Grub, but the major advantage, updates of neither OS will fuck up your boot loader. You can update it abso-fucking-lutely risk free. Second advantage, advice 2. becomes trivially easy.

2. Set up a virtual machine. Select as its hard drive the raw disk volume where you have installed your Windows. You can do this with VirtualBox, but QEMU with virtual machine manager make is far easier to set this up in. You can now start Windows under Linux as a virtual machine. You can always start a small application, but the big deal is installing. Start a Steam download, have it installed and ready without switching over. Running windows updates. And when you then have time to play the game, just reboot and you have it already installed.

I feel like many are not aware that you can start a virtual machine of a real hard drive. It's one of those things that improve usability of it enormously. It's something where many will just not think about it because they keep dual booting and virtual machines in two different categories in their brains, but immediately will think it is obvious as soon as they hear about it.

So, who already did this? Raise your hands!

learn design patterns.

you can instantly understand where goes what and you can make sense of any large projects.

I have two options:

Leaving my current role to join a big Bank as a senior engineer

Or

Staying at my current company and get promoted to Tech lead(my current company has been having some major layoffs

What do I do?

Eyyyy, finished installing and it even looks like I didn't fuck anything up.
Will reboot now to see that it's actually installed and works.
Was less complicated than the wiki made it look.

I cant find 1 single normal Fucking tutorial explaining how to code FULL DEVOPS PIPELINE for deployment to AWS.

A pipeline that includes
- gitlab (ci cd)
- jenkins
- gradle
- sonarqube
- docker
- trivy
- update k8s manifest
- terraform
- argocd
- deploy to EKS
- send slack notification

How Fucking hard is it for someone to make a tutorial about this????? How am i supposed to learn how to code this pipeline????

Fucking hell of a Spring Boot 3 upgrade. Half the libraries aren't ready for the upgrade, nothing is document, the migration guides are trash and our internal supporting libraries are riddled with bugs.
Why did I get that godforsaken task?

Anyone here playing Egg, Inc?
