Personal choice here ---> Create 3 partitions: root (/), swap AND home - all personal files will be stored in the latter. If you need to reinstall / change the OS for another linux distro, personal files will be safe. Might be useful.

How much gb should I give to home??

@fernandom.1228 4 месяца назад

@@jainampunamia9823 There isn't a magic number here... it really depends on how much memory is available and how it will be used. You should first assess how many GBs will be consumed with all required software, save 2~8GB for swap and the remaining amount could be assigned for /home.

@M3_Foss Год назад

This was a blast from the past for me. I used to switch distros every week like it was candy. I stopped dual booting after I built my first PC in 2014 and Windows wouldn't allow me to install linux. I think it was my fault because I installed Windows first and then I assumed Windows changed the BIOS to only allow Microsoft approved software. Come to find out after days of research, that the UEFI or whatever was preventing any Linux distro to be installed. The only one that I was able to install was Ubuntu 14 LTS which at the time was behind several versions. I gave up after weeks of research. I found out that the new motherboards lock out any OS that is not Microsoft approved because they are deemed 'unsafe'. Great! Fantastic. Great video !!

@ricardokelvin97 Год назад

Hey Alex, thanks for the content! My question is, how to make both work on separate SSDs? I tried it and now my BIOS is going crazy when I access the boot option (F12 on a Dell G15 Ryzen Edition), I switched both Windows and Ubuntu off their SSDs, but since I reinstalled Windows it looks like it installed the boot manager to the Ubuntu SSD rather than the proper Windows SSD. At least that's what my BIOS shows... Can you help me understand what's going on?

Great video! Ironically I just missed it after taking the same plunge to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows on my XPS 17 a few weeks ago. I was going into this expecting to have to reinstall Windows, but I found out the safe mode method of getting the AHCI drivers loaded from a random forum post. Now that that's all sorted both OSes run perfectly on my machine, on separate drives just to ensure a rogue Windows update doesn't brick my Linux install or something.

How long is battery life in linux?

@abrahamolsen5340 10 месяцев назад

Hey, i was wondering if you could help me with some issues that im facing with my asus vivobook s14 k3402za, when i turned off, the battery drains, for example y turned off and leave it there for 8 hours and it drains 5%, also for 12 hours and it drains 6%, im waiting for the drain of 16 hours, it could be 10% because in 8 hours its 5% so idk what its causing this problem, but i tried a lot of things, and i know that its normal like 1 or 2% but in a week or something like that but i make some math and for our it drains like 0.632% of battery, and the laptop its pretty new it has a intel i5 12500h, Could you help me?

Hi Alex, thanks for the great walkthrough. Would you recommend using a VM or Dual boot: I’m little concerned about OS upgrade. Will it wipe the boot menu again?

@lambslife1802 11 месяцев назад

Go for dual boot, even if you have good hardware vm will still be slow comparably. Also you can just turn off the bit locker in windows before doing the installation then you'll not need to enter bit locker key if you access the windows drive from linux.

@treo1230 6 месяцев назад

I'm not sure if it was mentioned in another comment or in the video, but, if you have your system in Legacy BIOS, you first need to change it to UEFI (this part involves going all the way back to partitioning your disk, because you need to merge it again if you already separate it, and start from there).

@smiley_fyyyyyyyyyyy 4 месяца назад

I’m amazed! I followed these steps one by one and tried not to panic and it worked! If I would have ran into any other issues than the ones you faced I would have been smoked… Can I reenable safe boot now or will that destroy everything?

@FratAtalay Год назад

i think battery life would be most interesting topic for a linux laptop (which is also most tidious one to film) i expect to see pretty nice compile performance with linux system and this translates to poor battery life. Maybe you can uninstall dedicated gpu and use igpu to test battery life?? also thanks for the nice video. one note thoug;i think when it asks you to enter bitlocker key you can go back to boot menu and seitch back settings (instead of entering bitlocker key)

@robgreen13 Год назад

Thanks Alex, I've got my XPS15 9520 i7-12700 dual booting now. I've used Pop!_OS 22.04 alongside Windows 11 (the original Dell version). Once installed, it seems that Pop can cope with the "RAID" setting, so I'm leaving that as it is. I've not got my grub menu working yet, so I currently need to F2 and change boot order to swap OS on reboot ... but this might be because Ieft the setting at RAID. I set up separate root, boot/efi, swap and home partitions. Pop has then also added another swap file, so I've got more swap (my 4G partition and Pop's additional 16G file) than intended, but that can stay as it is for now, as I can turn off my 4G but not the other 20G. Unlike my old XPS13 (from 2018) I can't seem to set the sleep mode to deep as /sys/power/mem_sleep can't be written. But since it is usually plugged in that's not stopping me from working. So, I'd better get the Linux setup finished and do some of that work now! Thanks again for the great video ... one of many great videos.

@stephant1908 10 месяцев назад

Similar things happened to me on the HP, you have to disable dump protection, boot protection, activate legacy, verify that SATA was not with a Rapid Storage system, verify Bitlocker. Check if the partitions are MBR or GPT. All these steps are extremely important haha otherwise you will have a lot of headaches

@@pfitz4881 Yes this is possible, just did this last night. Basically everything in his video step by step works for the most part, linux should recognize the second ssd you installed and you can do the same swap partition in the set up process. I have Windows 11 on my oem ssd in slot 1 and ubuntu 23.10 on slot 2 on a sandisk extreme 1tb ssd. The bitlocker key shit during this process is annoying af but it's not too bad. By the end dual boot works.

I recently bought Dell XPS 15 9530 and I really don't get the logic of default being set to RAID in BIOS, its nuisance specially if you install second SSD like Samsung 990 Pro, which apparently doesn't work well with Intel drivers. This video also made me realize how much pain it is to dual boot Linux alongside windows. My idea was to partition the second SSD and boot Linux exclusively from that, but all this hassle is probably not worth it.

If you are gona make changes on the BIOS is better to deactivate bitlocker (or disk encription on Home Editions) to prevent the bitlocker recovery key prompt every time you boot Windows. And Ubuntu should be capable of install with secure boot enable as default.

@DanielField2023 7 месяцев назад

The only issue with dual boot with the same drive when the system get corrupted it's all gone windows and Linux that is why i prefer to have each OS to have there own drive at least reinstall one drive without the other drive to be affected .

Hi Alex, thanks for the video. Interesting that this procedure seems to get even more complicated rather than easier. I would recommend using a virtual machine for Linux instead on a Windows host. No need to mess around with partitioning, secure boot, Bitlocker, BIOS (except maybe for enabling virtualization), etc. You can get rid of a VM fast and easy. Backup, snapshots, restore, cloning are simple to use and make things a lot easier when developing. And you can run your Windows and Linux in parallel instead of choosing one over the other when booting. I don't think that dual boot is the way to go today. I think the only advantage it has is running on bare metal. Especially with Linux the performance gain is not that much compared to a VM, I think - I might be mistaken. Maybe you can do a comparison with some example projects?

@thomasluk4319 Год назад

Haha, welcome to the world of dualboot and distrohopping😄 many computers have a key (F11 often) for bootmenu. Switch off fastboot if u want access ntfs from linux. I use a separate second ESP (linux efi partition) for cleaner setups. I can heartly recommend "refind" as a bootmanager for efi systems. I dont use bitlocker nor secure boot as i permanently reinstall linux. Sudo apt install refind. You can manage bootorders in linux via bootmgr -o.
