I want to dual boot my win10 PC with Linux, but I can't decide if I want Debian 8 or Ubuntu. What do you guys think?

Hope your not on UEFI bios cause that would be a bitch to dual boot

@Java Well idk if I have an UEFI bios, where can I see that? And what exactly do you mean? Does it not work with dual boot?

@Java I think Ubuntu supports UEFI nowadays it's just the Windows secure boot that fucks dual boot setups up

In your bios settings it will tell you if you have UEFI it can be a bitch to configure for duel boot. You'd be better off with VMware if you have UEFI as it's less hassle

@liammartens But you can disable secure boot right?

@liammartens yes windows security features of their UEFI bios firmware

Yes you can disable secure boot which still does not guarantee that dual boot will work. It is extremely buggy depending on your hardware setup IMO

I've looked around on AskUbuntu, and found this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/...
Seems like with the new Ubuntu it's possible.

@Koenn I was able to get a successful uefi triboot with Windows 10, Ubuntu, and fedora 21. I've since lost the setup when I switched computers and didn't want to go through the hassle, but I can confirm it's doable

@Koenn @liammartens definitely pointed out the biggest problem here, the secure boot when enabled basically forces the bios to boot windows and bypasses other boot options. There's other details that I'm not versed in, but that's the problem that secure boot causes with dual boot.

@brettmoan yea it's also the problem I encountered a year ago when I was dual booting Ubuntu on my Windows machine but I just reinstalled windows in Legacy mode after that so I didn't have to deal with that shit xD

I had both many times... Try ubuntu. Less problems with drivers and stuff, and it's more like an complete operating system.

Naaah everyone knows the only good distro is Arch ;)

@Java uefi bios is easiest to dual boot in my opnion. Never breaks by an windows update. Can have more than 4 partitions. And can easily boot into any os through quick boot menu.

Because you do it by yourself :P @NeedsAdjustment

@Java I have uefi, never had a problem with ubuntu, debian or arch linux. I have no clue what youre even going for...

@madrix999 It's not the problem with Ubuntu, it's dual booting that's not supported by UEFI. But according to what I read it should be fine with the latest version of Ubuntu.

@Koenn Well your sources are wrong, ive been dual/triple booting on a UEFI system for about a year and a half now, from windows 8.1 and 10.

Do Arch or Kali

@NeedsAdjustment And the most fun part about using Arch is installation :D

@noshoesplease Kali is no OS and Arch is only for guys how like fucking around with their OSs not for beginners or guys who like stability!

@enen theres a setting in registery on win that fixes this problem, dont remembee what it is butbi didnit a whioe back and evrything runs smooth on windows 10

Don't turn off secure boot to install Ubuntu. It provides an extra layer of security and Ubuntu supports it now.

Allright so i decided to go with Ubuntu, and everything seems to be working fine! Time for a lot more coding on this new OS.

@vortexman100 Kali Linux is an OS.
You stand corrected, my friend

@noshoesplease I know it counts as one. But seriously. This isnt a os you should using for everything. Its like using windows embedded for anything.

@vortexman100 lol no
