    No one […] should want

    The moment you’ve written those words, you’ve already lost. Because they obviously do want it, and operating systems have supported it for decades, which means it’s perfectly reasonable for people to expect it to continue.

      MacOS doesn’t. Windows doesn’t. The only one that does is Linux, the one that no one in the grand scheme of things wants to use.

      There are multitudes of ways to use Linux on windows machines already. You can’t install windows onto a machine that already has an OS installed no doubt got a multitude of security reasons.

        MacOS doesn’t.

        Anymore.

        Windows doesn’t.

        Anymore.

        The only one that does is Linux, the one that no one in the grand scheme of things wants to use.

        So you think making it harder to use is the right path for greater adoption? Bold strategy.

          It’s not making it harder to use. No one who knows what dual booting is should be dumb enough to want 2 or more OS’s on a single drive.
