Re: [orca-list] Dualbooting Linux and Windows

You can also edit /etc/default/grub and tell it to wait forever at bootup.
It removes the requirement to press a key at bootup. Easier, especially if
you have slow motor skills or have bad timing.

You can also set boot order on UEFI with efibootmgr. No nie for the f12
dance.

do it, and switching between operating systems is very easy. My motherboard
actually has a boot option for the Linux partition. Therefore, it is very
easy once the system starts up, to press F 12 and down arrow once if I want
windows. Since most motherboards dont have this though, you would simply
have to count the number of times you have to press  the down-arrow key to
go between Linux and windows. In most cases, the bottom option gets you into
your bios, so getting yourself there an up arrowing once usually does the
trick. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

(NVME) has enough space to where I think I could easily dualboot Windows and
Linux. It's not running BIOS, it either has EFI or UEFI, and from what I've
read, dualbooting is far easier on that. So, does anyone dualboot here? If
so, how easy is it to switch between the operating systems? I'm planning on
starting with Debian, since its accessibility stuff is just, already
preconfigured. Maybe the stability of Debian will mean a lot less crashes
than Fedora 35.
