![]() ![]() As such, you should also make sure you have the latest BIOS/UEFI flashed on your system. Peripheral compatibility isn't much of a problem with dual-booting Linux BIOS/UEFI settings are MUCH MORE LIKELY to cause headaches. ![]() some models allow it only once you've set a BIOS admin password, or other niceties). So you'd need to add a section on how to disable SecureBoot in the article, especially on laptops where this can be VERY finicky (e.g. Rufus gives you the possibility of using an MBR-compatible scheme (it chain-loads a GPT with a MBR sector, making it work in both types of machines).īut GPT is necessary for SecureBoot to work, right? Thing is, only Ubuntu and Red Hat are compatible with Secure Boot, and Rufus strips those away (if you want SecureBoot to work you need to clone the ISO onto the media instead). Using GPT for the install media makes the boot disk incompatible with older computers that don't use UEFI, and even more modern systems that have a buggy boot process. This article is incomplete on a very sensitive matter, and that's too bad because it is otherwise very nice. ![]() On an old Threadripper 1920X machine with sufficient memory I have even done 2 Windows machines simultaneously, both with dedicated GPUs, plus a third one for the Linux host.Īnyway, I have this question to the knowledgable audience here - what is the proper way to license Windows 10 for use in a VM? Do the cheap OEM keys that are being advertised so often by the tech-tubers work for a VM installation? With GPU passthrough I can have close to native performance. Generally, I prefer to go in the other direction - run Windows in VM hosted on a Linux machine. ![]() But these are more for command-line jockeys like myself. Cygwin more so, because it has proper terminal window, where select is copy and middle click is paste. With WSL2 you are bound to have Hyper-V activated which precludes using any other hypervisor.Īlso, I find both Cygwin and WSL1 very usefull. Installation is also far easier.įrankly, I prefer to install Linux manually in a hypervisor of my choosing, whichi is never Hyper-V. I’ll see all your severed heads on a stick, in the GNU Dawn.Andrep74 said:I’m surprised you didn’t at least mention WSL2, which works really well under Windows 10 and 11. But your method of “shink the original windows instance” has maybe shown me a glimmer of light thru the keyhole, so THANKS.Īnd death to all software companies who distribute pre-baked software installs on solid state media that can’t be moved. Instead I have to do this tortured limbo dance that doesn’t work as simple as presented above. You never knew how wonderful El Torito CDROM-boot-protocol was until it was GONE. Secure boot, then fedora & Android dont workīIOS boot Īll this would be simple as pie if god*mn Microsoft just distributed CD/USB install media. I can get this working half-way in two scenarios: Then with the 2 x ~64GB remainder, I want to triple boot with fedora 30 and Android 9. My windows 10 is smaller “128GB” and I am attempting to bloom it out to a larger ~384GB partition. I found this page because I am “attempting the same thing” but just 10% different. And that is my opinion based on sound practical experience. Note: you may think Linux is free because you pay no money, but let me tell you, the time spent trying to make your distro function dependably will cost you a lot more than the price of a new Windows OS. That’s on a fresh install!!!!!!!!!!! My advice to anyone wanting to use Linux is “DON’T”! Not unless you are a computer geek willing to spend the time to get his or her distro to work in a dependable & functional way. Indeed, on installing Fedora, I had to spend 2 days figuring out how to get anything to show on my monitor. And what really gets me is that these distros, Fedora included, have absolutely no working support for Radeon graphics. Well you say! Yep…there are the same old problems like ACPI issues, grub menu issues, etc, etc, etc. Hmm… since starting with Ubuntu7, or 8, and trying all the other flavors I can verily say that Linux, in all its’ distros, has not improved much…. What you say?! Well, every 2 years I go around and, again, try the different distros of Linux to see if any are PnP on a level comparable to Windows. Hahaha: sounds so simple for an install! If only! When dealing with Linux, anything can happen and, yes, Fedora does not install properly using the prescribed method above. ![]()
