Linux@lemmy.ml•How to get windows to not do disk checking or ruin my bootloader when i add a linux partition on the same disk?
2·12 days agoI’ve done it with over a dozen computers by different manufacturers: primarily laptops: Lenovo, HP, toshiba, and I have yet to run into any issue.
Windows assumes there is only ever going to be one efi, so it totally ignores the second partition. Linux has you mount the efi partition so you can choose it over the windows one.
What problems have you had with it? There is lots of advice out there on the Internet saying this is the best setup, not just me.

1·12 days agoA second drive is optimal, but you should still have a second efi partition on the second drive.

3·12 days agoWhereas I agree that it’s not guaranteed to work, I have set up more then a dozen systems this way and have never had it be an issue.

11·12 days agoIf using efi (instead of bios), set up a second efi boot partition. Use one efi for windows and the second for Linux. It’s “non standard” but the efi spec does not explicitly forbid you having multiple partitions, and it will keep windows from disabling anything on the Linux boot partition.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026English
14·4 months agoI never has an original psp, but I had a psp-go. It was great! I primarily used it to emulate the nes and Genesis. Not many people liked the other slide out screen aesthetic but it was one of my favorite parts of the design. It reminded me of the Motorola sidekick.

58·5 months agoHoly fuck it has a name.
Of course it has a name … Of course I’m not the only one this happens to.
Everyone saying you need two harddrives needs to know: all you need are 2 efi partitions: one for windows one for linux… You can have them on the same drive. It’s nonstandard, but I have never found a machine where it doesn’t work.
I relate so much except mine shattered and I required a ureteroscopy to go pull out the 3 fragments, after 48 hours of intense pain.
You can look up ureteroscopy as a procedure if you like, but I can assure you it is just as much fun to have done as it is to spell

I did this today with the crazy snow we got in New england… my neighbor is dumb and left his cars on the street. We got 22+ inches of snow. He has a shovel, I have a snow blower. While he was shoveling I just joined him and moved all his snow in 1/4 the time. I didn’t say anything. He thanked me and I nodded.

11·8 months agoFusion works flawlessly for me in winapps (and I’m sure winboat), but it is s-l-o-w. I probably need to figure out GPU passthrough and it might be bearable… But I haven’t had much time to dedicate figuring it out.
