What is this "windows" you speak of? I don't think it means what you think it ,means...

The script and my example are attached below.

So now you too can be a *Nix guru and boot from Zfs.

I turned my back on M$ Window$ circa 2000. Didn't hurt much as my milk language was VMS on VAX.

kinda dates me a bit

VMS was good stuff. I liked DCL and it's automatic file versioning.

Hehe I use zfs on my nas, pools and snapshots and scrubs and all. Really a great filesystem one you get the hang of it.

LOL at the shell script (I mean it's pretty geeky)

I prefer ZFS on *BSD, not Linux, it certainly is good stuff.

Yeah, my NAS is BSD, I love it.

Wish I could find a little starter coarse about Linux to give me a jump start. I started with MicroSoft DOS & then jumped to Windows 95-98 both editions- 2000 Pro-XP-Windows 7 and ran that as long as I dared before switched to 10. I built computers, up-grade them and now I'm almost 76 YO and tired of the game. I want to settle into the KISS Theory & mellow out and chill with something simple. Tired of the Rat-Race. LOL

I started with commodore then Amiga then dos and windows 3.1 so when I found Slackware and the text installer I was comfortable with it.

Yeah I looked at and thought about Commodore but at that stage I had too much on my plate as a husband and father and not enough money to go around so I had to wait. And after I bought a Packard Bell Dos computer shortly after is when 3.1 came out. Story of my life I should have waited just a little longer. LOL

I started with a Univac CP-818. Have been using Unix & Linux ever since. : )
I guess you can consider me old.

We have work-provided Win11 laptops, and I also use employer-provided Linux installations on both their (bare metal) systems and my own (hypervisor) setups.

A couple Win10/11 laptops and tablets scattered around the house in case I have to run native code which won't run well in WINE.

But aside from that, none of my heavy-lift platforms have MS of any form running natively. They're Linux Mint 22.x (including the system I'm composing this reply on) and run a variety of Windows, OS/2, DOS and Linux/Unix VMs. This host has 3 concurrent VMs going.

Figured out how to get a Win11 VM up and running on an i7-7700k based system. It has an earlier TPM and still receives updates. So we'll call that one good.

Several hosts in my main network will be members of a ceph cluster and on that file system will be kept a gold copy of both Win10 and Win11 machines in case of M$ fsckery.

I get what you are saying. I would recommend you try a Linux distro called Zoren OS. It was created for people who are used to Windows, but aren't happy with that OS. Zoren looks and acts like Windows even though its Linux. The cool thing about Linux is that you can create a bootable thumb drive, install any Linux distro on it, boot to that thumb drive and test out the Linux distro like it's been installed on your PC. You can even connect to your Internet router. The other neat thing is that most Linux distros are free to use. It won't be too much of a learning curve for you with Zoren OS. I tried it a few years ago and I was impressed with it. I just couldn't get past the fact that my mind kept thinking I was using Windows, so I changed to a different Linux distro, lol.
