[TriLUG] More on the dual boot problem

Pardon me if I have told this story before.

When I started at SUSE in 2018 I was happy living with my Linux desktop (a
well equipped Dell laptop) and all was mostly well.  Except for the odd
occasional conference calls I had to join.  Several of the systems were not
consistently Linux friendly.  So I went down the dual boot route -- too
slow and cumbersome.  And I tried a Windows VM  - not a consistent winner
there either.  And after several embarrassing fails, I said to myself one
day, I know how to solve this.  So on the next trip to Costco I came home
with a very nice X1 Carbon.  To this day, it sits on the corner of my desk
ready to be my Plan B if something comes up that I can't make submit under
Linux.  It has also done my taxes for the past several years as well.
Problem solved for around 1000 bucks (and I could have done it for less,
but I wanted something nice!)
