That’s good to know. I would prefer using mint because I’ve been using it in my laptop for a while now and I’m comfortable with it. I really appreciate your help and time answering my questions. I will try dual booting again this weekend.

That’s very generous. I was planning on using windows 10 and Linux mint. But I was doing some research and it seems like bazzite is more focused towards gaming and I wasn’t sure if I should use that instead of mint.
Thanks for the response. That is really helpful. I am going to try again and hopefully it will work better this time.
I appreciate the response and time to test his yourself. I will try again without removing my windows drive. That’s too bad for your laptop tho. I didn’t realize that laptops would ship with raid. Is that common now?
Dang, I was unsure if Linux would mess up my windows drive, that’s why I took it out. But I guess I was wrong. So, if I’m installing Linux on a separate drive, during installation do I need to select (install along side windows) or is that only if it’s on the same drive as windows?
All the tutorials say to remove every drive but the one you are installing on, it’s better to be safe, or so I thought…
And I didn’t know about OS prober. I figured that if the OS’s are on seperate drives I could just enter bios each time and select the drive I want to boot to.
Yes, I physically removed my windows drive from the PC.
I recently tried out my desktop PC for gaming with mint. I removed my windows drive from the PC, installed mint on a seperate drive, tried out several games, shut PC down, put windows drive back in PC, windows won’t boot… Had to nuke both drives and reinstall windows…
It’s a little different tho if you already purchased said games that don’t run well or run at all on Linux… Especially, if you have some games that you and your friends play together. “Oh sorry guys I can’t play these games with you anymore, I’m on Linux now…”
Why don’t you just use freetube? Also, check out grayjay.
OK, thanks for the clarification. I wasn’t planning on having them using the drive at the same time so I shouldn’t have any issues.
It won’t be an issue for both PCs to access it. I’ll try making another partition. Thanks!
OK, thank you.
thanks for the clarification. I just recently got into linux and don’t know much, but as i was researching Fedora, that’s what i came across. Which is a pretty big turn off for a newcomer migrating from windows and wanting to get away from big corporations.
Isn’t red hat enough reason to not use fedora?
I was able to get reaper working with yabridge and using Steven slate free sampler, thanks for the help!

I followed another commenter’s guide using that command and it worked, thanks
Thank you! This worked!
That’s great to hear! I am still dual booting mint and windows but I am slowly moving towards being fully on mint. I recommend checking out Lutris if you have games on other stores, it also works well with running windows games.
