Is dualbooting obsolete in the modern age? Why would you take the time to reboot and switch to Windows/Gahnoo+Linux/BSD/MacOSX just for web browsing and other mundane tasks? And why should an user dualboot?

>why should an user dualboot?
Because he is too poor to afford a machine that can comfortably run a VM.

Even in that scenario, live booting and running a distro from RAM is far better than taking the time to partition stuff for something you may or may not use.

I'd say it's just about dead, there's not much reason to reboot into Windows any more from your preferred OS.

I used to dual boot on my desktop PC. I use it mostly for gaming and still find I have difficulty getting lots of games to run on linux (though hundreds of my games run fine now). Eventually I got a laptop that I use for everything besides gaming so I got rid of the linux partition on my PC.

I dualboot, but I find it annoying. I'd rather have multiple PCs, and exile Windows to its own machine for stuff like rendering graphics.
That way I could actually build a PC for OpenBSD and a PC for Windows, and have both work well.

I got Linux on 1 drive and Windows on an another. I use windwos for the occasional gaming atm. Works perfect for me

Why my pp hard.

Good luck with gaming on VM. And no, I'm not gonna work on VM Ubuntu.

If you're using both OSs for very intensive tasks which require the full power of your hardware, dual booting ia still the most practical choice. GPU passthrough and the like are simply too inconvenient as of now.
But if you don't need all that power (which is 95% of the time with current hardware, gayms aside) a VM will do just fine. You should preferably run Gahnoo/Linux or some other actual OS on bare metal and Windows in the VM, not the other way around.
