First things first, apologies I referred to 'directories' as 'folders'.

In this video, I demonstrate setting up dual boot using grub in a scenario of "Windows then Linux" installations followed by removal of old kernels using 'vkpurge' command.

Commands used:
1. update-grub
Updates grub menu to detect and add other OSes in the boot menu

2. vkpurge list
Lists kernels installed on Void system

3. vkpurge rm all
Removes old kernels

My setup:
1. Shotcut (a FOSS video editor)
2. OBS (to record videos)
3. Libreoffice Impress (to make the slide)
4. konsole (terminal for commands)
5. kate (text editor)
6. My $5 headphone
