How do I dual boot?
To explore Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, you should follow these steps:
1. Research available distros and their features.
2. Choose a distro that matches your needs.
3. Download the installation media (ISO file).
4. Install the ISO on your computer using a USB drive or download.
5. Boot from the USB and follow the on-screen instructions.
6. Set up your system according to the distribution’s guidelines.
This process will help you get started with Linux.
Ubuntu and similar distros can recognize other OSes and add them to GRUB by themselves. Just make sure your data is backed up before installing, in case anything goes wrong.
For more details, check the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dua...th_Windows. The Debian wiki has useful pages: https://wiki.debian.org/WindowsDualBoot and https://wiki.debian.org/DualBoot/Windows10.
It’s generally straightforward, similar to setting up Windows first, then adding Linux alongside. Linux automatically integrates with GRUB, so when you power on the PC it boots into GRUB and lets you pick your desired operating system. A simple method is to place different operating systems on separate physical drives and use the boot selection interface to choose one.
