Personally, I really would not advise dual booting because the hassle is not really worth it, unless theyre on seperate drives.

It is because of mbr vs gpt partition and some weird bs from laptop manufacturers

Mbr are mostly on older systems and could only support up to 4 partitions, legacy boot works on this, so if someone decided to add another os, it adds another partition and most likely to jank that persons pc

Gpt is newer, could support more than 4 partitions, runs only on efi, so someone would be like, cool, why not set my drives to gpt instead

Unfortunately, most laptop manufacturers do some bs called instant lock to secure boot if you change to efi boot, the problem with secure boot is that it only works on 1 os, the manufacturer of that laptop already decided that you'll only run 1 os and its windows, so dual booting on efi is a no go

So if you really need windows in a linux machine is vm, try vm. Most vms support pcie passthrough, (unless acer has some weird implementation).

Or the other way around, nuke your linux then return to windows.

Or if your laptop has 2 drives, then you can go 1 drive linux, 1 drive windows.

What i usually do nowadays when doing a fresh intall of windows is by using winNTsetup because it avoids too many steps if you have already decided to nuke the drive. You can download it from majorgeeks or have it preintalled on most portable windows like hirens, dlcboot or medicat.

Edit: oops my bad, sry, i got some bad reading comprehension, youre doing dual boot, ignore what i've said.

Dual boot is troublesome, even if you managed to make it work, it could mess your system, like for example, a windows update that could mess your grub partition thats why most people avoid it and use vm instead( qemu, vbox, etc.)

thank you for your responses and sry i forgot to add,

Im not super familiar with the pc hardware market and im not sure if this is a riffoff price

My old i5 540m died and i was thinking of getting a n100 laptop, but the cheapest i can find is around 350 in USD and after checking the benchmarks, theyre not way off compared to an i5 6200u, so that kinda caught me off in a weird dilemma.

It'll most likely to be a linux machine.

Aside from negative nature consequences caused by humans, they also eat themselves....so yea...sad.

Until the bubble bursts

Why, instead of safely entering a BIOS setup

effiency and lawsuits, phones has embedded hardware, its a bit op to have that initial hardware calls for a embedded hardware system.

BIOS is initally an IBM tech

_does the cell phone brick when installing the Custom ROM wrongly? _

Android is based on linux, that includes the partitioned bootloader (mostly grub on linux and fastboot on android, they're not technically the same but the idea is somewhat related) if that partition is messed up then its most likely not to boot

Wouldn't this protection be better for users? I mean, this could be done through ADB.

Android is owned by a corporation, I dont think that will be their primary objective

Also, do you think it's possible that this way of doing things will come to the computer, with ARM hoping to gain a good share of the market and all?

ARM is mostly a cpu design corporation that offers license fee to other companies to manufacture thier cpu designs, they're everywhere. It depends on thier licensees what to add to make profit.

Does this even matter? He bought that cesspool for like 45B USD and recently got his 56B USD tesla payout. So that blight is still swimming in wealth ¯_(ツ)_/¯

All I know when a publicly offered company slaps "AI" on their products, then its most likely a money launderi..i mean liquidation strat.

or is this just fantasy

I should've known that after she looked at me😅

Might be, china plans to implement their "opensource" version of kylin os to ditch windows
