the way i understand it hibernating an OS dumps ram to a file and powers off, so could it be possible to run two OSs “simultaneously” by alternating between hibernations?

    yea i know i meant it as a way to speed up dualbooting. cos having to shut down an os to get to the other one is a bit annoying

          May I ask, is there a reason you don’t use proton/wine instead of Windows? There’s lots of downsides to windows nowadays

            proton and wine are great but far from perfect.
            i wanted to play a small indie game demo just a few days ago, installed it through proton and it didn’t have audio. ran it through wine and that was even worse. the overhead of a vm is too much for my machine to run games well
