![]() It even survived the Windows 10 -> 11 "up"grade, and has so far survived all the Windows 11 build upgrades since I'm on the Windows Insider program. Some have said that Windows updates may overwrite GRUB, but in my experience this has never happened. ![]() There is no need to set any custom partitions Fedora will automatically set up the unallocated space for itself, and once it's installed, you'll get the GRUB menu on bootup with the usual Fedora options and the Windows Boot Manager. Then, when you install Fedora, simply choose your drive and let it install as normal. Then run diskmgmt.msc in Windows and shrink your drive however much you want so you have unpartitioned space - do not create a blank partition in that space, just leave it unallocated.

Should I make a shared partition for data or not? Should I set Fedora's partition size to be bigger than Windows since it's going to be the main OS?Īnother issue is stability. Every scheme that I can think of don't feel right. What's the best practice to dual boot? The issue that made me worried by dual booting is storage size and partitioning. This time with Fedora as the main OS and Windows as the secondary one. I'm fine with that, but some apps and games that I use frequently are not and it's bothering me. Most (like 90%) of the apps I used on Windows have their FOSS counterparts or are available to install on Linux. ![]() Also, FOSS is great.Īfter using Fedora for a month, I realized I still need Windows. It's such a wonderful experience for me, since I'm a computer science student and programming feels more "native" on Linux than on Windows.
