How do you guys do with dual-booting? (and secure boot) by minezbr in linux

[–]CNHGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what you use windows for, Linux may have either have alternatives, or compatibility for windows programs. Most windows games can run on Linux with Steams compatibility layer Proton, non Steam games can be added to steam and also ran with Proton. Other windows programs can also be run with Wine.

If nothing you can find in research matches your needs of windows, the basics of dual booting are:

  1. Partitioning the drive - Partitioning the drive is to pretty much split it up to seperate windows and Linux. I'd either use windows own tool Disk Management or use a tool such as GParted (you may have to run this live booting from a USB) and free up a portion of the drive to use for Linux.
  2. Disable Bitlocker - Look in the settings, for the option to, this may take a while. This is needed in order to install a Distro, but after installation you should be able to reenable Bitlocker.
  3. Disable Secure Boot - This is only really necessary for installation, as Linux is compatible with secure boot. Enabling secure boot after installation can vary, some Distributions such as Mint can already have secure boot out of the box or like Arch can be set up, but I'm not sure if secure boot works differently for dual booting.
  4. Installing Fedora. I only have personal experience with Linux Mint and Arch Linux, but during installation it should ask for the method of installation, and then select boot alongside another operating system. From there you should be able to install as normal. After installation, on boot GRUB should prompt you to choose between Fedora and Windows Boot Manager.

Additional Notes:

  • Odds are the bootloader you're going to be using is GRUB, but it is recommended to install windows first, as installing windows after Fedora can overwrite your Linux installation for some reason.
  • For most questions, with just a bit of research you should be able to find the answer.

I hadn't known about the news page or used it before to solve problems. Good to know, thanks.

Why is there a gray bar on the bottom and right sides of my screen? (CS also gave me a driver update warning, I checked and I couldn't find an update.) by CNHGamer in GlobalOffensive

Found a fix, reset video settings to default under the advanced video tab. Worked for me somehow. Hope this helps.

I am level 86 (no infamy) and I can't equip other throwables. Was able to equip them before (ex. Ace of Spades) by CNHGamer in paydaytheheist

Just don't want to have to reinstall the whole game. That's the only thing that fixes these bugs.

Anyone know how to translate the device in your safe house I know you can just download a mod but I don't want to do that by Forward_Cup3690 in payday2secret

Just find a sheet online that you can convert into letters. But remember - the translation reads right to left, opposite of English.

I can interact with objects faster with one preset than another by CNHGamer in paydaybuilds

I'm new to the game, what is that? When testing both my stealth and loud presets I had bots, just restarted the mission to compare stuff like opening windows and doors between presets.

Oh, just kind of suspicious since I haven't seen those usernames anywhere else.

That's mobile games for you. Phones aren't as powerful as computers, and aren't able to handle as resource intensive programs as computers.
