  • Windows 2000

    Windows Vista Windows 8

    Trying every Linux distro under the sun for a little while in VirtualBox

    Linux Mint + Windows 8 later 10 dual boot due to software required by school

    Trying some Arch based systems in VirtualBox

    My owm minimal Arch i3 setup + Windows 10 dual boot due to software required by school

    Issues with my own setup, Manjaro + W10

    Manjaro is weird, EndeavourOS + W10 (only for a short while)

    Linux Mint just works (+W10, until I could fully use my own software, now it's just Mint for several years)

    I'm tinkering around with NixOS in QEMU from time to time, not everything “just works” but it's okay

    Saying “oh but it affects the other apps, too” doesn't make yours less vulnerable.
