So I dualbooted Linux Mint with Windows 10 on one of my friends computers and we were able to.boot into both OSes boot now whenever he boots into Windows 10 he gets something that's assumeably a bsod(the blue screen with the sad smiley), in order to dualboot I disabled secureboot and fastboot. Did anyone try this before? If so, what was the fix for this issue/what could be causing this to happen?

    You need to tell Linux Mint devs to purchase digital key and sign their bootloader so that it is trusted. Or use Linux distro that already did this (RedHat, Ubuntu and a few others).

    @paziek So if we were to dualboot Ubuntu we wouldn't have these kind of problems?

    @ThatDude Well if it weren't for programs such as OneNote or just school in general, then I'd definietly do that again

    @simo002m I don't use Ubuntu so I wouldn't know but they claim to have SecureBoot support since 16.04. But I think you might need to have bootloader signed by MS key and this might not be default. They also claim that if SecureBoot is to actually give real security then you should use your own keys and sign bootloaders that you trust. So in practice - disable that garbage.

    @Torbuntu Well sometimes you have to, fx. I have to user OneNote in school(2016) and the browser version sometimes refuses to do certain things/don't have required feautures

    I disabled secure boot with the installation of mint. Thou it didnt get disabled. It eventually asks me to disable it so i do as said. There was always an option to enter a password and by that disables it. I think despite this occuring multiple times, it didnt get disabled. The result is, im able to boot into both and use them normally.

    @paziek the solution is not projects buying licenses. The solution is removing proprietary features like Secure Boot from UEFIs. Why should have MS the monopole on Secure Boot keys?
