  • They have pretty different use cases. Localstorage is for when you want persistence across page loads, not necessarily specific to any particular page but specific to a browser. An example would be storing user-selected light or dark mode.

    Query parameters are specific to a page/URL and you get a lot of things for free when you use them:

    • back/forward navigation
    • bookmarking
    • copy-paste to share
    • page level caching
    • access on both server and client

    Query parameters are good for things like searches, filters, sorting, etc












  • I haven’t done this recently enough to guide you on the details, but step zero is to decide whether you are certain you want to dual boot or not. It adds a lot of complexity and brittleness that is best avoided if at all possible.

    • Try to find Linux compatible replacements for the software you need.
    • if that doesn’t exist, see if you can run it on Linux with wine.
    • If that isn’t possible, consider running windows inside a virtual machine on Linux.
    • If you do want honest, bare-metal windows then using two different physical drives will be easier and more reliable. Ideally your laptop has room for two drives, otherwise you can dangle a USB SSD (not a flash drive). Windows won’t install to a USB drive but Linux doesn’t care.
