#dual boot

[taffyluvsdrpepper]

Gonna try dual booting with Linux mint! Never used linux before and I want to know if I'd like it more than windows, the hi looks much prettier than the modern windows 10/11

Hiiii! You´ve previously talk about installing a Linux mint dual-boot, I´m trying to do so (thank you for the inspiration), but I´ve been unable to install it due, getting an error message that talks about the kernel, did you get that message?

Congrats on trying things out!!! Dual booting Linux is a great step toward tech freedom :D

Unfortunately, I can't help diagnose your problem from so little information. The kernel is the core piece of software at the heart of Linux, so that doesn't narrow things down much. But the folks over at the Linux Mint help forums are really really good at giving beginners a hand with dual boot installs, if you're willing to give them more details about what's going on. They respond really quickly too, much faster than I can.

Because this is where I go when I've spent WAY TOO LONG fixing something underdocumented: If you're dual-booting Linux and Windows and shit starts to go weird in Linux (specifically WiFi for me), turn off Fast Startup in Windows. That, and fully shut down when going from Windows back to Linux, don't just reboot.

In Windows:

Open Control Panel / Power Options

"Choose what the power buttons do" (might be hidden in Advanced or Other Power Options)

"Change settings that are currently unavailable"

Turn off Fast Startup

Turn computer all the way off

See if Linux is magically fixed

If you are currently dual booting Windows and Linux, do not install Windows update until this is fixed:

free professional IT advice: when a shared disk is not working properly with dual boot just buy a new one!

does anyone know some arch based distro, that is easy to install in a dual boot configuration?

and not manjaro, because manjaro sucks.

ps: also is there a way i can smuggle some sh file onto an arch iso, so i don't have to type it all by hand?
