amazing

[@chibisayori20]

Sad i wiped my Windows partition, but i mainly am getting used to Linux anyway and for some applications i just use them on my desktop pc

[@h-banii]

I'm also keeping my windows partition (despite not using it) because I still have a ton of files in it, it's just a data partition now lol. (OBS.: it's not necessary to boot into windows to get the files, just mount it from linux)

[@albertfanmingo]

Whenever my main Linux partition runs out of space I open Windows 11 and just start deleting whatever files I know won't stop it from booting again. I've managed to reduce the system size from around 40 to 25 gigabytes. My goal is to eventually break literally every feature added after 7.

[@lllIIIlIllIIll]

@@albertfanmingo interesting... What features have you lost already?

[@Klusio19]

8:16 and that's why you create separate EFI partition just for your Linux bootloader. Simple, and safe. I do that on every system I have dual-boot on

I LOVE LINUX I LOVE LINUX I LOVE LINUX Amazing video btw and congratz on getting another sponser!

[@mr.sharvil3186]

13:45 another tip would be to disconnect the windows drive from the MOBO before doing the linux installation. that way it will be impossible for you to accidentaly nuke windows.

[@Sokyep]

Don't be like me, try linux before completely nuking windows (i have no regrets)

[@theorangel8331]

I’m thinking about exactly that

[@bhargavjitbhuyan9394]

I remember, when I tried Linux with a dualboot, I forgot that windows was installed in a couple of days. I reinstalled Linux and decided that I will nuke windows completely. And so, I did. I don't regret it at all.

[@user-ks1oh2wx6o]

I did the exact same thing (after transferring over all important data that is) and don't regret it one bit

[@InsanityV0id]

Yippie Learnix is back!!!!!

[@osz494]

They're going to be coming for my man bro.... Also thanks for the Windows activation scripts

[@beanhatesbeans]

great addition to the learnixtv cinematic universe. i am enlightened once again also i would recommend rufus or ventoy instead of balena SKETCHer, they have worked way more consistently for me

[@bhargavjitbhuyan9394]

Balena etcher always works for me. But I use ventoy.

[@ShorkKeith]

My recommendation for dual-booting: Try doing it in an old PC/Laptop whose data is not important for you and mess around with dual-booting. Try installing, re-installing, uninstalling linux cuz it is not as intuitive as those words sound. You will run into problems with the GRUB bootloader like I did. If you want a safe way to TRY LINUX, go for a virtual machine. If you're ready to switch to Linux, I still suggest you try it in another PC/Laptop that is not your main. Great vid learnix 🦈🤙

[@1KiloDepartment]

At that point where you have an useless severely outdated laptop alongside your main PC, installing Linux is likely the safest or even best way to use it again, without contributing to e-waste! I at least got an old ThinkPad that had Windows 7 in it, until I installed Linux Mint on it. (Though I had already fully switched to Linux Mint on my main gaming PC lol) Btw that ThinkPad didn't cause any boot-up problems. Neither did my main PC. But an EliteBook (about 6 years old) did: For some reason after installing Mint on it, it still tried to boot Windows. Which I learned was the case, because of my temporary solution was to just rename the Linux Mint boot file as Windows's and throw it in the same folder where Windows's boot file would've been, which worked (until Mint had to update). I finally solved it permanently by creating a custom boot option, some that I can't remember how to do right now :P Hopefully this is helpful for others!

[@ShorkKeith]

@1KiloDepartment I can also attest to reviving the dead with my 10+ yo all in one pc where the windows OS ran as fast as a turtle and now it has linux mint as it runs extremely well!

[@jjcoolaus]

Ive been doing this, i do switching between them regularly but soon ill be ready to clone the windows partition and run it as a virtual machine when i need it

[@sunman-6giy25]

only problem is that dualboot completly broke in recent updates and microsoft has no intentions on fixing it

[@jjcoolaus]

I have not disabled secure boot and both limux mint and ubuntu installed fine

[@timothyt.82]

I actually wiped my Windows drive a few weeks ago to prepare for some storage expansion. I had it installed on a HDD to make it suffer. Now i just need to figure out how to efficiently use it with my sata SSD. I know you can link the two, and i could just mount it and make a link in my home directory, but I want to know if i could somehow just ... Make them okay together? I dont know. My SSD is half the size of the HDD i use...

[@crylune]

I deleted it and found the distro that I love, Arch. I don't need Windows for anything anymore.

[@tato-chip7612]

by the way that windows killing grub issue I think is mostly a BIOS issue and not a UEFI issue. UEFI bootloaders are typically separate and the best windows does in my experience is try to put itself first, which you can immediately change in the bios settings if something happens.

[@zeeayyy]

Waiting for the nerds to say "ErM AcShUAlLy LinUx iS a KeRNeL bItC-"

[@natureless1]

We understand. We usually say linux as in the open source kernel or just how many distros are there.

[@DankaDoctor185]

Honestly, pop os and Linux mint are pretty much the two best options for people who like windows layout and are Linux noobies. Perfectly acceptable choices. Fedora gnome is nice for aesthetics too I guess but it's got its own wealth of issues

[@bluekaiokenobama]

I dualboot arch and iot for compatibility

I'm currently dual booting to learn Linux in preparation for the switch which will likely be 2026. I'm not going anywhere near W11, Microsoft can keep that abomination.

Well this tutorial is very good but 1 problem on lenovo, u get into bitlocker recover after u boot with secure boot on or even off and u can disable it but then instead of having a recovery screen ur drive gets encrypted.. or thats only for me with a Lenovo V15 GT2 ITL dualbooting linux on a 64gb pendrive @LearnixTV could u help?

[@_Learnix]

Well the obvious solution seems to be disabling bitlocker, it makes doing things like this very troublesome.

[@catcrackerBS]

[@BettersonMcgee]

I know its a very "well actually!"-ass thing to say, but one thing I dislike about describing linux as an operating system is that it keeps the average normie's imagination stuck in the proverbial box. Without needing to thoroughly explain what a kernel is, one description i heard that I really like is fireship's, which goes along the lines of "think of it like a free engine you can use to build a car. Some cars are designed for speed, some for comfort, others for indisutrial functionality, but more importantly, it lets anyone build any kind of car they want". As a result of several decades of nerds developing their own software we have a lot of choice as to what kind of operating system you want for yourself

[@BettersonMcgee]

Love your stuff though big dawg :^)

[@WEE_YouTube-445]

i use Debian 12 Linux with KDE plasma

Using Gentoo and only Windows i have is in a VM with PCI-Passthrough to the GPU, it's heavily firewalled by the Linux. All that to be able to play some games... Watched your video because i can't resist pepe thumbnails.

Dual boot is an awful way to try linux, mainly because dual boot can bring some problems a newcomer can't solve.

[@apersimmon]

Two words "Kernel Anti-Cheat" thats why I do not main linux otherwise my computer is a glorified web browser so I don't care and would install linux. If the games fist me hard enough I will just move to single player games and use steam's Proton. I cant be bothered duel booting, so thus windows user.
