Hm, I wouldn't say that dual booting is slower, because it isn't. It just takes up more disk space, and of course you have to reboot to switch between operating systems. --Alexp (talk) 21:35, 23 May 2021 (EDT)

Ya oops I'm a windows guy - I meant the GT VMs, not Mac dual boot - Jonathan Stewart

Don't buy a computer based on the software, software can be changed. You can install any operating system in an VM or to dual boot. Even a chromebook can run linux. - MattPerry

  We want to avoid using URL shorteners. Also, I don't really see the need to use archive links right now... why not just replace the links to archive.org links once they go down? I bet we can find a bot to detect defunct links or something. Basically, we want ppl to know what they are clicking on, and we want to follow link policy similar to Wikipedia. Although I do share your concern that links should be archived, and it looks like wikipedia has policy on that too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Archiving_a_source --Alexp (talk) 20:21, 14 June 2021 (EDT)
