New to linux, would like some help setting up dual boot. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] TheBakedPotato@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

I dual booted a machine and I had to even unplug my windows drive to get it to install a Linux distro on the other drive. Windows really does not like playing nice with dual boot systems so it is always best to keep Windows on its own drive.

No idea if it will help you here, but everytime someone mentions to me they are having display output issues and they're using Wayland and an Nvidia GPU, I recommend trying X to see if problem persists or not. If it doesn't, I would suspect the GPU driver, but that is a VERY uninformed guess. Lol

So I use an Xbox Series and their wireless receiver for the PC. It's not plug and play for the wireless functionality, but there is a fantastic repo xone. Just clone the repo and follow the instructions and it works great.

I'm running EndeavorOS with Plasma.
