macOS is so pretty... it's easily the best looking OS at the moment in my opinion...

    I'm not a huge fan of it but, could be because I mostly only used Windows all my life.

    I'm a Windows user for the most part as well, but I'm done with it. Microsoft screwed me over so many times I'm just done. 

     

    from now on I'll only be using Windows for gaming and school crap if I'm required to use it. 

     

    for me it's macOS and linux now.. nothing else.

    I'd love to use Linux as a daily driver but, games don't really run on it yet and, my case can't fit a second GPU so, an emulated Windows isn't going to happen either.

    dual-boot? that's what I do...

    I'm running Manjaro Xfce and Win 10 at the moment but, switching between the two is tiresome. ?

    little time saver, turn on hibernation mode. then you can hibernate Windows for example, boot Linux, and then boot Windows again and everything you had open is still there.

    Huh, I had no idea that worked that way. That's pretty cool!

    Does the bootloader come up when you wake the system or, do you have to hit the restart button?

    no, that's not what I mean. there is a difference between sleep/standby and hibernate. with sleep/standby, the machine stays on. with hibernation, the contents of memory are written to the disk, and it turns off entirely. that means if you turn it back on the boot loader will show up, and you can boot whatever OS you want. 

     

    if you boot back into the OS you hibernated, the contents of memory will be put back, and all your programs that were open when you hibernated it will be resumed.

    Oh, I see. I'll give it a try when my PC isn't busy.

    yeah do that. 

     

    make sure to save your work just in case if you hibernate a system, I have had machines fail to hibernate a few times which will close everything you have open, which could make you lose data. it will basically be the same thing as shutting it down if it fails to hibernate.
