For sure the ideal scenario. I wish you luck friend

It sure is possible, I’m currently dual booting win11 and fedora on my laptop, so they actually share a drive.

If you want to do it on one drive I’d recommend first shrinking your windows partition to whatever size your comfortable with in the windows disk management tool (whatever they call it, I don’t remember off the top of my head), then when you initialize a Linux mint install it should be able to recognize that windows partition. From there it’ll give you the option to either wipe the whole drive, or install in the empty space alongside Windows.

For what it’s worth I’ve had little to no issues dual booting both, it’s been working for me just fine. Although I will say, I think I actually have bitlocker encryption disabled, though I can’t say for certain and am unable to check at the moment. It would make sense for that to cause issues, so it would definitely be worth looking into.

Compared to some other alternatives, I think the thing it really has going for it is how simple it is. It’s really a drop in replacement for discord, something I actually think maybe my friends that don’t really care about Foss would consider switching to. They’ve told me they don’t want to take the time to learn a new messaging software, I don’t think they’d have to with this.

Lol you’re fine, I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic here it was a genuine response I thought it was funny :)

This is the answers I come to Lemmy for thank you bestie

I used aegis for a long time, switched to protons after they introduced it. Ideally I’d be using something physical though like a yubikey

Here’s the original conversation if anyone is interested. Reading all the “that is just what men do” comments makes me wanna barf.

I guess I should restate, I more so just meant I don’t mind it being wired I actually just meant external. I’ll edit my post but I’ll have to check out the ploopy trackpad since you’ve praised it so much!

Read “ad software” and was beyond terrified for a moment
