  • Totally possible.

    I recommend making room on your drive using windows tools to shrink the windows partition before letting your Linux installer add new ones, or doing it manually. This is just so that no weird filesystem bugs show up after resizing your ntfs filesystem with Linux tools. Never had a problem with them but it’s probably good to use Microsoft tools to mess with the Microsoft filesystem just in case.















  • Aight, almost every time It seems like audio is working but you actually hear nothing, getting alsamixer out and selecting each output channel and making sure it’s unmuted and full volume, on every sound device that shows up ( hit f6 I think to switch device to ) makes a difference. I’ve never figured out why it gets f’d up but I think it has to do with the service that saves and restores alsamixer state during shutdown and startup



  • Excellent comment, I completely agree.

    Anyway I want to add that Linux does not seek market share, it’s an escape hatch for those of us fed up with commercial software.

    Linux is used to build plenty of commercial distros like Ubuntu and rhel that do seek market share which is something their companies can worry about.

    Plus, more Wayland support won’t break existing X software. If you want to use old systems, don’t expect new software to run on it.
