Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    • install windows
    • adjust main partition so you have space for Linux
    • install linux, during install create anither efi partition, and root partition.
    • linux probes foreign OS (some distros might not) and creates a chainloader entry from your new EFI to Windows EFI
    • set BIOS to boot from linux EFI

    Windows never knows the other partition exists and leaves it intact.

    Could you give me more detail for step 3?

    [–] jose1324@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (10 children)

    Don't even have to do that. Install windows first, then install Linux with refind bootloader on preferably a separate disk. Done

    Did exactly that.
