Re: [orca-list] Dual booting Linux besides windows questions



I was googling for something else when I came upon this guide for setting up a dual boot Ubuntu & Win10:

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-alongside-windows-10-dual-boot

The only thing to add is that you must press alt+super+s as your first step even before their step 1.

If you are setting up a dual-boot machine, Ubuntu has one significant advantage over Debian. When you are repartitioning the disk, Debian will ask you a lot of questions about how you want it done. Ubuntu will just say that it recognizes you're setting up a dual boot, present a new partitioning scheme, and let you accept it. The Debian approach gives you more control but if you're new to Linux, you may not know how to answer all the questions. You can probably just keep accepting the defaults in Debian but it could still be confusing.

Have you considered just running Linux as a virtual machine? I found that when i had dual boot machines, I always used either Linux or Windows. It's such a pain to reboot that I found myself just sticking with whatever I was using. Weeks, months, or even years would go by without me booting into the other operating system. Now, I always do Linux and run Windows in a virtual machine.

Yes, that's what I mean. Which distros have an accessible installation process? Ubuntu is one of them I guess? Is there a more recommended distro?

Thanks,

    If you mean the process of installing Linux, then, yes, it can be
    accessible with a screen reader, depending on the Linux distribution.
