Wie schafft Windows das eigentlich immer wieder, das Grub-Menü, das mir beim Start des PC eigentlich auch die Option Linux zu Booten anbieten soll, so kaltzustellen, dass Windows durchbootet und man vom Grub-Menü gar nichts mehr sieht?
Ich muss dann jedesmal ins UEFI-Setup, manchmal sogar zweimal, um das wieder zu richten. 🤯
Und Nein, kein Windows ist leider keine Option. Vorerst.

I have a 2009 MacBook.

I want to dual boot Snow leopard (os x) and Linux - possibly KDE but I haven't settled on that yet.

Is dual boot possible or am I just heading for a world of pain?

Also I'm familiar with KDE Plasma but is there a better Distro better suited for this ?

Dual-boot an Apple silicon Mac in Sequoia or Tahoe

Google is useless for this, so hopefully the Fediverse can help.
I have a PC with Windows 11 on one SSD and I want to install #linux on another SSD. I don't want to touch the current primary SSD at all, just boot from USB, install Linux, set that new SSD as primary boot partition in the #UEFI #BIOS and from then on have the Linux boot manager show up and let me choose which OS I want to boot. I use Linux, but haven't set up #DualBoot in literal decades. Any tips/guides for this specific case?

Question for the #linux crowd - Im thinking of dual-booting my Win10 with either #Zorinos or #popos

my question is, is it better to use 2 different ssds, or an external ssd, for the linux os?

Any tips on how id go about doing either?

Pour installer Linux en dual-boot, vous avez réussi à changer l’architecture des disques d’Intel RST à AHCI sans rien casser, sans réinstaller Windows ?

Ça m’a l’air pénible et pète-dents.

@flup Alternatively just use something like Puppy Linux which will happily run from a USB. I do have dual boot on an Acer laptop but could never get a HP one to behave, so I guess it's all quite hardware dependent. So try reading up on your brand of laptop, even the model series to see if anyone has already done it. #Linux #DualBoot

I knew it, I'm undergoing a digital metamorphosis, guys. Ten years ago, I had no use for Linux, and for me Windows was the OG operating system for software and games. This year, I have not messed with Windows on my own computer for about a month now—the longest I have been off Windows in my house since I was a small boy. It's a feat I never thought I would accomplish. Coming up soon: to figure out how to make the Fedora partition the default to boot into.

In the Mac's recovery mode, the Terminal can be accessed. Surely there is someway to access and install a #Linux distro onto the blank partition using Terminal in recovery mode, without a USB drive...? #MacOS #DualBoot

Für Linux-Rechner würde man zur Festplattenverschlüsselung LUKS benutzen. Habe gerade gelesen, dass bei Dual-Boot mit Ubuntu auch die gleichzeitige Verschlüsselung mit BitLocker für Windows und LUKS für Linux möglich ist, das war mir neu. Falls du es versuchen willst, hier ist eine Anleitung (ohne Gewähr, hab es nicht ausprobiert).

Guten Morgen,
ja, ich glaube, ich möchte das auch nicht nochmal machen! Wo ich mich noch nicht wieder rangentraut habe: Der Bitlocker ist für Windows jetzt deaktiviert, da die Installation sonst nicht möglich gewesen wäre.
Doofe Frage: gut ist das nicht, oder? Ich bin seit der Installation nicht in Windows gewesen - aber bedeutet das jetzt, dass mein Laptop dennoch böswillig "von außerhalb" gestartet werden kann??? Was kann sonst noch schlimmes stattfinden?

In the early days people would #dualboot #linux on windows desktops for years before eventually commiting to switch 100%

Maybe the same approach could work now for #android mobile phones given pure linux phones still struggle to be daily drivers?

Assuming a fast and seamless switch function, it could be a practical way to smooth the transition: Keep access to critical apps while test driving and helping the development of truly free and #opensource mobile computing.
