My classmate asked me to dualboot linux on their laptop.

I'm proud of them. :D

That's a good feeling :D
I hope they stick with it!

Very cool. I installed a dual boot on a friends chromebook too. Fun stuff

Hope never dies.

Which distro? Mint or something else?

@-vim-
Obviously mint since they're new to Linux.

@Michelle let’s hope they like it!

@Floydian
Aw, thank you! :)

And they will never boot to linux

Give them arch and then let them die B)

@gitlog
Introduce him in VIM and leave him there! If he returns he is the chosen one!

@KennyTheBard
Her and she*

@Michelle
That’s good, there’s definitely way less women than men in the linux community, it’s quite sad

@Michelle @-vim-

Sorry, when you think in a language and write in another things tend to be misunderstood 😖 anyway, good for her, but as a more of a Ubuntu guy, i would ask, why mint and not ubu? I feel like the second might have a stronger appeal for a windows user (i myself been there not so long ago)

@KennyTheBard mint is easier for new user and the default theme is more something like macos and windows

@KennyTheBard @-vim-
Anyways, she either way is going to learn more. Let's hope she gets to learn great and get good. :)
P.S. hope that for me too ;)

I myself did that to a couple of my friends. Two went back to windows. :( But one moved permanently to Linux!

Remove everything and just tty !
