I’m looking to finally use Linux properly and I’m planning to dual boot my laptop. There’s enough storage to go around, and while I’m comfortable messing around I’d rather not have to run and buy a new device before school while fixing my current one.

This was the general guide I was planning to follow, just with KDE Plasma (or another KDE). I was going to keep windows the default, and boot into Linux as needed when I had time to learn and practice.

I assume it should be the near similar process for KDE Plasma?

I’m ok with things going wrong with the Linux install, but I’d like to keep the Windows install as safe as possible.

    I haven’t had this happen in years, maybe it’s my config? I’m using GPT on a UEFI system (in UEFI mode), with systemd-boot.

    I do remember having tons of issues back when I was using grub on an MBR system using legacy bios emulation.

      None of my computers had Windows in years so I can’t really tell you but that sounds plausible to me

        Only thing keeping on my disk is fusion360, so annoying to have to deal with booting into windows just to use a single piece of software.
