[Software] Does virtualizing make me a trator

[friendlysalmon88]

Hello I've been a long time user of Debian over the past twenty some odd years.

Thees days I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Laptop and an HP Z420 Work station. I'm still struggling to come to terms with is weather I'd be considered a traitor for either dual boot into Debian Trixie or to just use a virtual machine?

I'm leaning Moore towards dual booting into a second installing a separate system in a separate partition scheme.

None of that would make you a traitor, or anything negative. You use what you want and no one will judge you for it. Once you start doing something ridiculous like using PPA's and Ubuntu packages on your Debian system though you will be judged, potentially mocked because it's been known to cause all kinds of nonsense that usually can't be sorted out easily.

Is this a trick question? Traitor to what or whom?

Plus, of course, it's your computer and (subject to certain legal constraints) may do with it whatever you please.

2. a person who says one thing and does another

Has OP taken some oath to only run Debian for some reason?
