I’ll dual boot my crap laptop just for you. Also how about Kali Linux. I’m pretty sure that’s the one I tried.
Kali Linux is a pentesting distro. Why would you even use that?
No, use Manjaro. Not Ubuntu. Thanks for embracing the truth
KDE or XFCE? I was using it to try “not” to hack.
I would suggest XFCE, but both versions work.
Which one would be better for someone like me?
XFCE. You can see screenshots on the Manjaro website.
What is the basic difference?
Uhm… XFCE is lightweight, KDE is not.
Okay thanks. Now I need to prepare for dual boot. Shit, any good tutorials you can recommend me?
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Graphical_Installation_Guide_for_Beginners_0.8.8
Be sure to read through it before you start installing, just to make sure that you get all the notes about dualbooting.
I think there should be an option to install beside Windows in the installer.
If the “install beside” option doesn’t popup, don’t proceed.
Ugh I’m scared. There’s nothing in that wiki about dual boot and apparently for dual boot I first need to disable fast setup, disable secure boot and make it so cd/dvd/usb is listed above your hard disk. Ugh
And make it so UEFI is enabled.
And I have to partition my hard drive in the setup. Ugh. This is going to be a long night.
EDIT:
This is the tutorial i am looking at https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=7552.0
EDIT 2: I have BIOS and apparently I have to change to UEFI.
Why would you have BIOS? UEFI is a million times more secure and boots faster.
Came with my laptop. I’ll check if HP provides a UEFI for my computer too.
Sure
There was an error in installing so I canceled everything and removed the usb stick. Windows is thank god still working. Not going to install it on my computer. I might just use a virtual machine.
