  • That’s fair, I won’t say that it’s not as complicated as it sounds because I don’t know what you know, but if you want it put into simple words, it’s the following:

    1. Install drive 1 in PC
    2. Install Windows
    3. Remove drive 1 from the PC and put drive 2 in its place
    4. Install any Linux distro that comes with GRUB as bootloader (most of them, personally recommend Fedora if you want a suggestion)
    5. Install drive 1 into the second slot that was left empty up to now
    6. Start boot, your motherboard will have a specific key to launch the boot selector, e.g. F10, or go into the UEFI settings to put the Linux option first
    7. Boot into Linux and trigger the GRUB detection for other OSes so it updates the list of entries
    8. Reboot
    9. Now without having to smash a random key to get the built-in boot selector, you will instead be able to choose comfortably from GRUB.

    Anyways don’t pressure yourself into doing any of that if you don’t feel comfortable with it, of course.
    One step at a time, the important thing is you’re satisfied with what you have and that it’s functional to your workflow



  • You just need to run the installation with one drive at a time if you want to be extra sure, then each will have its own boot partition and they can still work together, for example I have 3 drives, one Linux, one Windows and one storage, the Linux one has GRUB on it and it detects the bootloader on the Windows drive just fine so you can select either from that or the UEFI boot selector. Never had updates scramble anything for neither of the two systems


  • The tool presents a significant privacy risk, and shows that people may not be as anonymous in the YouTube comments sections as they may think.

    I don’t understand how this makes the privacy on YouTube any worse when all the information it sources from is already public, this is just automated doxxing, which, while we’ll agree to be unethical, was never a privacy violation, it is just the consequence of the actions of who posted the information to begin with.
    Also does it really violate YouTube’s privacy policy? It’s new to me that service consumers can be subject to the policy when it’s not the third parties that YouTube actively sends the information to, that sounds more to me like Terms of service, which are hardly enforceable fully (thank goodness, so we can have our yt-dlp and PipePipe)
