  • Dual boot is fine, you just need to choose some good options.

    Method 1: Most recommended. use Refined as your boot loader and two drives, not partitions. This is the easiest, safest, and frankly nicest way to deal with this. At boot, before either system starts you get a nice graphical interface to choose which OS to go into.

    Method 2: Partition style. Disable window fast startup. Disable windows hibernation (never hibernate windows before going into linux). Use UEFI and GPT no legacy methods. Don’t encrpyt windows with bitlocker.

    That said, my desktop and traveling laptop have been windows free for years, I have no need for it, and your advice is the safest way overall. A vm in linux with virtualmanager works very well.


  • The comments after that article, people are completely missing the point.

    This is how I see it:

    The EU pays Morocco to externalize its borders. Morocco has used these migrant dumps in the past as leverage to get more money or protest things it didn’t like. The EU is paying Morocco to be its border guard, so there is a structural dependency where Morocco holds the stronger hand.

    Yes the court ruling in Spain happened that makes it look like this is why its happening now, but there are so many people, it seems allowed. Morocco denies they are officially involved, but they also denied this in the past when they clearly did. There are a lot of news reports of their border guards standing down, and even reports that they helped spread the social media news on purpose.

    Why then? Because Spain recently strengthened diplomatic ties with Algeria, Morocco’s arch-regional rival. Seriously for a looooong time they have been rivals.

    I also would see the ruling as a negative for Moroco’s government, as this removes a bit of their leverage. So they would like that reversed.

    Edit: oh I forgot to mention, these people are just pawns in this game. Everyone wants to complain about the people they see in the photos, but it is the ruling classes on both sides that benefit from this, focus should be on them.
