How nice of Windows to spam me with notifications when I temporarily fill my scratch disk, despite turning them off…

    Oh, I duel boot. Unless you mean going back to Windows 98, I did that in a VM once to play old shareware games.

      How long do the duels last? If your chosen OS loses, do you boot into the winner OS, or do you come back the next day?

        The duels last until a Windows update decides a scorched earth tactic wins the day. Destroy the boot and you destroy your opponent.

        Are the duels to the death, as was done in the early 90’s? What weapons may they use, or is it just kernel-on-kernel?

          Windows plays dirty, it’s never kernel-on-kernel. Once it removed my wifi access in Linux out of spite. Gouge out the eyes and earn easy victory, but for as long as there remains the flash drive there is no true death amongst OSs.
