Here are the steps to dual boot Fedora Kinoite and Windows 11: Preparation


<span style="color:#323232;">Backup Data: Ensure you have backups of all important data from your Windows system.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Create Live USBs: Create a bootable USB drive for both Windows 11 and Fedora Kinoite using tools like Rufus or Etcher.
</span>

Install Windows 11


<span style="color:#323232;">Boot from Windows USB: Insert the Windows 11 USB drive and boot from it.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Install Windows 11: Follow the installation prompts. When prompted, create a partition for Windows, leaving some unallocated space for Fedora Kinoite.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Complete Installation: Finish the installation and set up Windows 11.
</span>

Install Fedora Kinoite


<span style="color:#323232;">Boot from Fedora USB: Insert the Fedora Kinoite USB drive and boot from it.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Start Installation: Begin the installation process and choose the option to install alongside Windows.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Partitioning:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    Select the unallocated space created earlier.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    Create the necessary partitions for Fedora (usually root / and swap).
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Install Fedora: Complete the installation process.
</span>

Configure Boot Loader


<span style="color:#323232;">Set Default Bootloader: Fedora will install GRUB as the bootloader. It should automatically detect Windows 11 and add it to the boot menu.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Verify Entries: After installation, reboot the system. You should see the GRUB menu with options to boot into Fedora or Windows.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Set Default Boot Option (Optional): If you want to change the default boot option, edit the GRUB configuration.
</span>

Post-Installation


<span style="color:#323232;">Update Systems: Boot into both operating systems and ensure they are fully updated.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Install Drivers: Make sure all necessary drivers are installed for both Windows and Fedora.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Test Dual Boot: Reboot several times and test both operating systems to ensure the dual-boot setup works seamlessly.
</span>

Troubleshooting


<span style="color:#323232;">Missing GRUB Menu: If the GRUB menu doesn’t appear, you might need to repair the bootloader using a Fedora live USB.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Windows Boot Issues: If Windows doesn’t boot, you may need to use the Windows recovery options to repair the Windows bootloader and then reinstall GRUB.
</span>

Following these steps will help you set up a dual-boot system with Fedora Kinoite and Windows 11.

mortalic,

I second KDE connect. It’s awesome. Don’t listen to the haters.

mortalic,

There is an fdroid version named syncthing fork. Give that a go.

mortalic,

Skimmed the article, here: "I’ve been a Republican, but now I’m a registered independent. "

mortalic,

I’ve just started using Fedora recently and have been pretty impressed but I also ran into some of these annoying issues to start with. I wrote a super quick and dirty first run script to automate the things I use but maybe others will find it useful. I just added it to my GitHub if anyone wants to use it as well. I am not responsible if it wrecks your system.

mortalic,

Of course hope it’s helpful. Feel free to open a pull request if you want to make any changes or add something

mortalic,

K… This is just not true. Plenty of AAA games run well on the steam deck. Currently installed on mine, RDR2, cyberpunk 2077, horizon zero dawn, Forza horizon, uncharted legacy of thieves, the last of us, and for funsies I just started another fallout 4 playthrough. I’m sure others have lots of other AAA games they play on their deck.

If it’s the exclusives you’re missing, like Gran Turismo or something, I think that’s a different argument.

mortalic,

I mean, the nuance you describe is notable. But I sit on the couch, using controllers and play the same games you would on ps or Xbox. Both of which run variants of Linux/windows.

It appears the nuance is no longer important.

mortalic,

Why do you say it isn’t a proper substitute? What features is it missing?

CAD Software Suggestion

I am currently on win10 but have been toying with mint and liking it. I intend on fully switching over soon. I have also been toying with the idea of some simple 3D modeling, like making custom parts for projects around my house. Maybe using a CAD software to generate stls for a 3D print or using it to spec out parts for a...

mortalic,

The thing I’m struggling with is finding beginner videos for ondsel. The ui is super different, so freecad videos don’t help much. Any suggestions?

mortalic,

You may not realize it but you’re kind of making my point. You have prior experience. An Ondsel getting started video is really needed. Especially since they want to charge for it.

mortalic,

I did, no issues.

mortalic,

I just bought a Thinkpad x1 carbon preloaded with Fedora and it’s pretty fantastic.

mortalic,

So far I love it. I bought it brand new from Lenovo and you could pick from I think 3 or 4 distros. I picked fedora, which it came with 38. When I first booted up it had a bios update which honestly surprised me that they would bother. Then upgraded to 40 through the fedora upgrade path. All painless.

I was fully prepared to make a windows live USB just to flash the bios/firmware.

mortalic,

Ok hear me out… Steam deck and the dock. 4 8bitdo controllers and a Logitech wireless kb/mouse combo.

Use Firefox as a non steam app for Plex, Spotify, streaming site of choice etc…all the artwork is available. Spend a few minutes to map the controllers so you can use them on those non steam apps and you’re golden.

This is the setup I have and it works pretty well. My family got to grips with any little annoyances pretty well.

mortalic,

If you go this route, let me know if you have any questions on how to set some of it up. SteamOS is pretty great as a media center that’s gaming focused.

For stuff that doesn’t work great as a non steam app, you can boot into the desktop mode, which is just kde on immutable arch

Is there any love for BAR (Beyond All Reason-FOSS RTS) on Lemmy?

I just finally got into this game and I’m completely shell shocked! I had seen it recommended before but ventured into other games without giving it a fair shake. As an avid RTS fan since Dune: The battle for Arrakis on Sega genesis, I’ve been slowly feeling more and more lackluster in the genres future prospects. I was a...

mortalic,

I love bar and play it all the time.

mortalic,

Lol, just click no.

mortalic,

I’ve got some bad news for you.

mortalic,

Honestly, it’s an engagement experiment.

mortalic,

Furiously taking notes… Not really though, while substack has some annoying behavior, setting a paywall is up the the writer. I turned it off.
