Instead of worrying about what sign is on the outside of the building, let’s pay attention to the department’s funding. What happens to federal funding for education under the Trump administration, whether there’s a fully functional Department of Education or a vacant building collecting dust while the work gets done elsewhere? We simply don’t know.Trump has said a lot more about shutting down the department than offering policy papers on federal funding for education.
Here’s what we do know, though, with absolute certainty: how much federal funding each school system gets and what percentage that is of its total funding. That’s listed every year in an annual report on the state Department of Education’s website.
The localities most dependent on federal funding are in rural areas — and most cities. The localities least dependent on federal funding tend to be suburbs, particularly those in Northern Virginia.
It depends on what your goals are.
Ultimately, it's going to come down to what you are trying to do and why you want to run multiple Operating Systems. For example, my main system is running Linux. But, I want the ability to run Windows malware in a controlled sandbox (not a euphemism, I work in cybersecurity and lab some stuff for fun). So, I have KVM setup to run Virtual Machines, including Windows.
For another example, prior to making the switch to Linux, I had Windows as my primary OS and booted Linux on a USB stick (not Ventoy, but close enough). This let me gain confidence that I would be able to make the jump.
I don't have a good example for dual booting. Maybe something like a SteamDeck where you want a stable, functional OS most of the time; but, have some games which will only run in Windows.
