It is kind of how it works. It slows down the absorption of alcohol.

I like the free version of waveform 17 as my DAW, but I’m not sure if it supports Linux. Vital is a good free synth with tons of presets.

My reasons are almost the exact same as yours. CUDA, software compatibility, and not wanting to mess with dual boot in case I mess up. I ended up trying linux mint on an external drive and it works pretty well, but I don’t think I see myself using this full time beyond software development.

Yeah some of the Reddit comment sections I’ve seen over the years have been full of people trying to instigate something.

So I think I got it to work. Used a virtual machine to install it onto the drive, and now my laptop boots to Ubuntu when the drive is plugged in. Took a while for me to figure out which partition sizes I needed for stuff since I wanted to do manual partitioning.

Yeah there’s a ton of stuff to learn. I’ve got some experience from my college courses but I want to get ahead before I take the ones that really test my Linux knowledge.

I’m probably going to stick with something simple like Ubuntu 22.04 since some forward I use is only supported on that.

I’ve seen tutorials where people installed Linux using a virtual machine that can only see the ISO usb and the drive you are installing Linux on to do that. It’ll be a pain removing the drives from my laptop. I probably won’t be dual booting because I use nvidia GPUs + can’t switch to Linux full time because nvidia and I use CUDA for projects.

I’ll be trying out Linux outside of a virtual machine for the first time. I’ve got a SATA SSD external enclosure that I’ll be using to boot without messing with my current pc

I feel like the explanation using email as an example works pretty well. Most people understand how different emails from different providers can communicate, but their account is hosted on one platform.
