Is there anyone who can help me configure a dual-boot setup with Kodibuntu alongside my current Windows 10? I'm using a laptop with only one SSD and want to switch between operating systems easily.

You'd need to reduce the size of your window partition to create space for Linux

You have 100GB left, doesn't that seem sufficient?

It reduces the size by around 80GB and sets up Linux on it.

It's sufficient as is, but ensure it's on its own partition. Speaking of setups, dual booting isn't necessary if you're using a TV box.

I don’t want background processes consuming resources. The login process is also bothersome. Also, this is just a possibility, not a certainty.

It means you could simply erase the existing drive and set up Kodibuntu without using Windows.
