Glad I don't do dual boots anymore... though I still might in the future for
testing code in a real Windows install, not a VM. Way down the road.

I still have one or two Windows machines so thankfully I don't have to
dual boot.. I don't trust MS to not bork up my install.

If I wanted to dual-boot, I'd get a second SSD to put Win11 on, not
partition a single one. But since I don't game, Linux is all I need,
anyway. I have Wine for this NNTP client, don't even need Winblows to
run it. It's great.

I think my last dual boot was about 10 years ago. All four of my Linux
boxes are pure Linux. I've really come to dislike VMs. I don't care how
many cores there are but in most cases there is only one CPU, one NIC, one
storage device even if it's a RAID array, and one bus.

I don't really play many modern games, so most of the games I like have
native linux versions or work fantastically under wine thankfully.

In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Mississippi has
shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. Therefore ... in the Old
Silurian Period the Mississippi River was upward of one million three hundred
thousand miles long ... seven hundred and forty-two years from now the
Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long. ... There is
something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesome returns of
conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.

Hmmmm, even VirtualBox support multiple CPUs and NICs, IIRC.

'In most cases'. Dual homed NICs are common. Consumers seldom get their
hands on multi-processor Xeon boxes. Even our client sites don't get
beyond multi-core, thank the Gods, They get into enough trouble setting up
persistent routes for multiple NICs.
