Re: [orca-list] Dualbooting Linux and Windows

I'm 99% sure either that or it's done for you. I dunno, I did the setup and hand installed and set everything 
up to the point where I could just fire up Strychnine and have that do its thing to set it all up for me

Hmm, okay, so all you have to do after using the Arch install is install
alsa-utils and espeakup right? And then set the accessibility stuff in
.xinitrc or .profile right? That sound easy enough.

Well, the Arch guided installer sets up desktops for you and gives you a
menu of what to install, desktop, server, minimal and has common desktops
(Mate, Gnome, Cinnamon, KDE, et al) as well and does all the heavy lifting,

Also good catch, I didn't know about the direct hardware thing, which has
pretty much made me a qemu fan over virtualbox. Now if I can get Vagrant to
play nice with qemu...

I'm not sure if the new installer's in the latest Mate release, the beta
for 22.04 honestly, I've not tried it out yet

Welll, I just spun up an Ubuntu test VM and there's no crackling of

Orca

or slow responsivness on my system with decentish specs, and through my
wired USB headphones it's snappy and quick to respond.

And yes, Orca starts up without crackling here on qemu, whereas with
VMWare/Virtualbox, crackling and clipping, but there's none on

quickemu.

I'm not sure how Wimpy managed it or i it's something inherent in qemu,
but...it's a nice refreshing change

qemu, jq, edk2-ovmf (at least that's what I need to get it running

As said it's a set of scripts that wrap around qemu to make it

work.

quickget then the OS and version you want pulls that down and does

the

that

that was created.

Thanks all for the info. I don't think Debian has Quickemu.

Hmm,

may be

a good time to try the Arch installer thing that came out...

is

    very easy. My motherboard actually has a boot option for

    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 don’t 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.

    my SSD (NVME) has enough space to where I think I could

    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.
