Is it worth buying a machine with a linux distro for a noob like me? Or should I dual-boot it of this thing?

It's simple

bool dualboot = YA_PLAY_GAMES ? true : false;

lmao

just dual-boot, it isnt hard
kek, this

it's OK, you just happened to grow up right after getting tha laptop.
I'd sell it and get something like a t460s (new). shit graphics but a great screen and keyboard, battery life, weight, etc. That will fit your needs better.

Just look for laptops from companies that don't try to prevent you from actually running Linux, or better yet, don't come with any OS installed.

This could be any Clevo vendor (which some Linux laptop sellers are), Gigabyte, MSI, and maybe Dell if you want Linux preinstalled. There's a weird price hike where there shouldn't be, like I wouldn't really buy a System76 Laptop for the price they offer.

But I would recommend that you do the following with your laptop:
>Set up Dual-Boot on the laptop, 60 GB for Windows Partition, 40-60 GB for root folder on Linux install
>Either two primary partitions or one extended partition , one for Home folder where your user data on Linux resides (Formatted as ext4), and one shared folder that's formatted as NTFS

I'm assuming you have more than 8 GB of RAM so you will not need to set up a swap partition, but try not to delete the boot partition if possible. Try installing Windows first and then Linux afterwards, so that Windows doesn't override the GRUB bootloader.

Hope this helps!

Wow you're fucking retarded and the reason why shit code exists.

Go buy a business laptop, generally ThinkPad and Dell Latitude are the most recommended. They usually have more standard hardware thus better Linux support, better build, and upgradeability.
