Anyone here has installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 with UEFI? Did you find any problems?

I have installed other distros on the past, but in computers with the old BIOS so it wasn't much problem.

But now I will be installing it on my laptop, which I use for work so I would like something reliable. Personally I prefer Arch, but on the desktop.

I know there are endless tutorials and videos on internet, but I would like to hear some people's hands on experience.

Thanks :)

Apart from eufi boot entry not being added post install but easy to fix by manually adding it, nope. None. :)

Why Ubuntu? I think Ubuntu is increasingly developing into a very poor distribution. The guys really messed it up in my opinion.

I am currently working on dual boot(Ubuntu+windows 10) and I have no problem with that

U can install virtual box also for using Ubuntu with windows 10

I'm using the way you described Ubuntu with windows 10 UEFU and it works fine. Honestly I haven't even opened windows for about a year.

I use the Ubuntu On Windows function so I can do both simultaneously. It's basically a Linux kernel emulator.

@gblues Are GUI apps meanwhile possible or are they limited to the terminal only?

@tracktraps honestly haven't tried. But I have heard anecdotally that Linux Firefox works, so probably? At least to some degree.

It's free and doesn't take long to set up so it's worth a shot.

I am triple booting with windows 10, arch, and elementary . uefi actually made this eaiser

@tracktraps honestly because I have been using it for a while and it just works out of the box (most of the time) which in this case is want I want since I will be using it for work. I can't afford to experiment and mess things up with this laptop, that's what I use the desktop computer for.

I have heard that other distros like cinnamon are also good at this.

Which distros do you recommend? I'm open to suggestions.

@chaddhag I could try it, but virtualbox tends to be slow on my computer so that's why I wanted dual boot

@lotd did Ubuntu replaced the windows bootloader?

@leolas95 on uefi ; no. It creates a separate entity.

On bios; yes. It overrides the mbr

@Jop- grub typically, yes.

@leolas95 Cinnamon is a DE, not a distro :) You probably meant Linux Mint, but that's not much more than a pimped Ubuntu.

I would recommend Arch Linux - installed according to the official manual, but, well, that's not for everyone.

Second choice would be Antergos. Based on Arch Linux and if you don't install too much stuff, you have an (almost) clean Arch Linux.

Third choice would be arch-anywhere. This is not a standalone distro, but an installer that, well, installs a clean Arch Linux. I use it quite often when I set up a new Arch system.

Also noteworthy and great distributions (all are memdisk compatible, btw):

SwagArch (based on Arch, https://swagarch.github.io/)

VeltOS (based on Arch, Graphene Desktop, https://velt.io/)

ArchLabs Linux (based on Arch, https://archlabsblog.wordpress.com/)

NetRunner Rolling (based on Manjaro, https://www.netrunner.com/)

SparkyLinux Rolling (based on Debian, https://sparkylinux.org)

@leolas95 No matter what you decide to do - I would definitely favour a rolling release distro.

Have been dual booting with elementaryOS fine for the last year

@tracktraps wow man thanks so much for the info! Yeah I meant Linux mint, don't know how I typed cinnamon :/

Well I guess you convinced me :), I will try an arch based distro and see how it goes, although I'll have to be extra careful. In fact I have a live USB with antergos from like a month ago, but haven't used it much. Guess now it's the time!

Thanks for your advice!

I've made a bottable usb with Kali on it, so when I want to use Linux I just boot from the usb

@MaxS
It is good you have made bootable usb but there is no need of everytime connect usb to work on Linux .
It is a one time process

@aakash0121 that was an example of having both windows and Linux on a shitty pc :)
