Is it really that bad, though? Compared to spending hours fighting with 3rd party drivers or wine or etc. every time there’s a change to the software in question, restarting to a different partition is pretty trivial. Configure both OSs to mirror non-sys files to network storage or a shared partition (and there’s plenty of ready-made utilities for this) and it’s honestly a pretty easy solution to being stuck with “iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD” software.
I get where you’re coming from, I do. The only reason I’m saying this is because the difficulty in dual booting is often brought up when discussing switching, and it really discourages people that are curious about trying linux (but are still tied to the apple/M$ world) from making the switch when they’re constantly told how hard it is to use both.
I wouldn’t have any actual problems doing the dual boot itself, its just that I don’t want to deal with not having my data synced between operating systems
