From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Windows not booting directly after Dual boot is set up (lemmy.ml)

I just finished setting up dual-boot for Linux Mint and Windows 10, and I noticed that now Windows isn't booting properly when I start it up directly through the BIOS. I don't know how important this is, since it does start with no issue through GRUB

I'm mostly wondering if this is normal

imo dual booting is obsolete in most of cases, put windows in virtualbox and use it this way if you have such need

Thats an entirely different issue though. Unless you're passing the hardware through to the VM, it can have big limitations as far as what you can do with the VM.

Both setups have their uses.
