Might just be my old experience (happy to learn otherwise) but dual booting ended up with more of a painful experience than not. When Windows would update, it would fuck my grub up and cause issues booting into Linux and Windows. You can fix it (most of the time) but expect to do it rather often; especially unpleasant as a beginner.

I know there’s issues with GPU passthrough on vms but IDK if dual booting is the moves unless they seriously improved the experience in the last couple years.

Manjaro has been awesome. I use it for work and it is pretty bulletproof.

My other laptop is using Arch (btw) so having the same de and package managers is awesome. The GUI software installer is pretty great for my wife, she never needs to open a terminal.

Hell yeah. I totally agree.

You can setup a reverse proxy on the web server to direct a subdomain over to the ai server if you’d like to have it accessible outside your lan

Congrats on the sweet new mood lighting for your farts
