How to Dualboot and Multiboot Linux (and Windows)

Yo man thanks a lot for such a detailed guide, I really needed this information and couldn't really find it on the internet

Where was this video when I tried to dualboot arch linux and linux mint????

I was able to do it anyways though. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

What about if you want boot several OSes of different kinds, say Windows 98, MacOS, Solaris, Suse linux, mandrake Linux and ubuntu linux?

Amazing video! Awesome job! I always had challenges understanding the dual-boot process but this video makes it a cake-walk. Huge thank you!

Can all the distos share the same swap partition?

I really enjoyed this video so clear and simple thank you for that ❤,
Q: how i can switch between the bootloader to fix it i don't understand this part, can you explain it to me please 😊.
Sorry for my bad English

Thanks so much, I"ll try nobara and zorin on win 11. Hope it works!

Doing this makes more or less of a distrohooping degenerate?

Great tutorial. I'd feel comfortable this after doing this ~20x & 5 instances of which having required unfcuking.

Of COURSE Manjaro OMITS the LABEL field in it's partition manager
Despite carefully creating labels to make later selecting it unambiguous, it's STILL based on recollection.
After all, when overwriting or reformatting a partition, who needs to be careful. lol (gotta love distros).

Nice tutorial

Very good video. Thanks. You will likely ignore my other comment thinking I'm just another grammar Nazi. Nonetheless, I'll still state it anyway: there is no such word as "anyways".

This has been the video I’ve needed for ages, Thank you.

Question - I notice you did not create home partitions, is it not good practice to keep root partition separate from home content in distro's? I'm a newbie following all the advice out there.... Thanks great video

fedora can effect the chakras of the human body so its safer to use lower case because nobody likes being yelled at

Thanks for this great video i'm setting a dual boot with popos and parrotos and this video comes very handy to me

Note also if ever a kernel is updated in the other installed OSes then you need to perform a sudo update-grub in the master bootloader OS to make those updated kernels active. Nice clear video for those looking to multiboot. For those with more than one drive I'd recommend keeping Windows on it's own drive with it's own bootloader and keep any multi Linux OSes on another drive with their bootloaders.

since windows install messes up the linux bootloader, I was hoping to see how you handle that situation. I did learn alot.

I saw this months ago, but came back just to say, thank you! this helped me a lot to understand how all the partitions work, also that having windows at first solves a lot of problems!

Best linux how-to videos available!!!

Thank You for not speaking another language and having Your title in English.

Fast startup causes no issues whatsoever for me, it's on, has always been on and I can always choose my OS obviously I am not saying it's like that for everyone but worth noting you may be able to leave it on.

The way how Manjaro, Ubuntu and Fedora bootloaders interplay 👍 . . . really good that you showed these details. Thank you Dorian.
Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.

I tried to add PopOS to a laptop that already had Manjaro on it and now I can no longer boot into Manjaro. Any advice? I know I haven’t erased Manjaro because I installed them in different partitions, and I was able to use my bootable Manjaro USB to mount the partition and my files were still there.

I wonder if issue has to do with PopOS using systemD and Manjaro using GRUB? I tried updating grub but no luck. Also not seeing either Pop or Manjaro in my bios of my laptop (Dell Latitude e7470).

This is a very helpful resource… very well explained much appreciated! Excellent overview👨🏽‍💻👍

THAT's DUMB--- for them-- they should just install LINUX OVER the windows and do away with microsoft CRAP...

I want to say u are a life safer

Best video about this topic in whole yt

@DorianDotSlash Great video. But also please note that if you have different distros with different filesystems the grub os prober feature doesn't work.
Some people format and make partitions or are forced to make/format partitions during the install. And in some of those cases the distro defaults the new formatted partition to a different one e.g. btrfs, LVM, encrypted variations etc. (considering my base linux filesystem is ext4).
In such cases make sure that multi-booted distros have the same filesystem type.
Cheers!

Best video ever..clean and simple

Your tutorial videos are amazing. I decided to go back to creating soft after 16 years. soft soft is so easy to get into, but also offers

bruh i just got it yesterday and it looks like spacesNice tutorialp controls thx for your help

keyboard instead of the draw tool

Also are you using the Mac or PC version?

THANK YOU SIR, YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!

Man, I'm so drunk now hahaha

ground in just 17 minutes, amazing.

Amazing!! You rock dude, one of very few videos were you understand everything explained

Thank you.

Thank u for being a great human being and taking ti to help all of us noobs out cheers

Ah) It is very simple - just delete Windows.

I also have a dual drive set up and Windows seems to have taken control of both drives. I have both installed as UEFI.

Linux is on my SSD
Windows on a mechanical HD
Both drives are in Boot setup and are listed as boot options
Even if I unplug the Windows drive and reboot, Windows Repair screen comes up and tells me that there is a problem with booting to Windows.
HOW?? I have only come across boot problems (and fixed) through GRUBB.
Any Ideas?

Yes. Very well done. Just what I was looking for.

this video is such a godsend. Fedora’s Anaconda is so whacky the way it doesn’t just take you to the traditional partitioning GUI. As a (somewhat) beginner this video probably prevented me from wasting about 3 hours. Subbed.

And I stopped watching as soon as you said you're installing Ubuntu, try using a real linux distro, Ubuntu is the Windows of linux.

Thank you!!! Your videos are so good. I noticed you haven't posted vidoes in a while. Hope you are ok and maybe continue posting new videos that really helpful to almost 100k people!

He sounds like the Windows 10, 11 channel guy?? Great video.. thanks from a new sub .

Thanks for this video sir
I seriously learnt alot from this video. Especially i leart to use grub in a proper way
