I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things.

I've run Arch in the past but I've gotten too old and lazy for that if I'd be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though.. and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I'd try out first this time so I figured I'd get some inspiration from you guys!

Ok, I want your setup. Can I have it? Please? :)

Sounds pretty nice!

I can help you set yours up like mine if you want!

But you'd need to make sure you have two graphics cards. I have the 3080 disabled from Linux until a VM starts, so it won't load the Linux desktop or anything. Even a CPU with integrated graphics works, but a physical GPU is obviously better.

I really like the Quadro series for this as its physically thinner, lower power, and has the performance around a 1060. They're on ebay for like $60

I'm currently stuck with a laptop thats creeping towards potato status so it's a bit hard to upgrade parts of it. :)

I'm happy just being able to run it almost to the ground as it is!
