@knotty beacon holy shit im sick of it imma be right back

imma dual boot windows

[knotty beacon]

wdym

[winged dragon]

its really complicated bro

[knotty beacon]

ah

well dual booting is an option yes

you have grub right?

[winged dragon]

yes

[knotty beacon]

grub can be easily configured

to dual boot

[winged dragon]

i mean my computer's boot manager is just fine

i pres f12 and a small windows asks me where i want to bot

[knotty beacon]

ah

[winged dragon]

and of i go

[knotty beacon]

well it would be more convenient to just have it in grub

[winged dragon]

alright, how do i do that

or i could use refind

[knotty beacon]

refind sort of complicated if your using btrfs

but i set it up well

[knotty beacon]

install dosfstools

sudo pacman -S mtools dosfstools os-prober

these are the packages you should need

once you install those edit /etc/default/grub

(sudo nano /etc/default/grub)

[winged dragon]

hm

then

[knotty beacon]

uncomment this

so

#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

should be

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

and make sure to save

(ctrl s)

[ashen lotus]

lower output volume

simple

to like

60 or so

in a mixer

[winged dragon]

you are

a genius

tho i i will still dualboot windwos

[ashen lotus]

thank you

[winged dragon]

thank you

[ashen lotus]

np

[knotty beacon]

after your done saving

run this command to regenerate grub config

wait

where did you mount your efi partition

[winged dragon]

no fucking clue

[knotty beacon]

💀

[ashen lotus]

lsblk

show

[knotty beacon]

run lsblk

for example this is mine

[winged dragon]

[justdie@winged dragon yay-git]$ lsblk

[winged dragon]

[knotty beacon]

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

then it should output

it found windows boot manager

[winged dragon]

[justdie@winged dragon yay-git]$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[winged dragon]

then imma just do it again i guess

[knotty beacon]

boot manager

[winged dragon]

how do i install the fuckin yay?

it says you do not have the permission

[knotty beacon]

how did you install yay?

also refer to this article https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows#Linux_before_Windows

[winged dragon]

i just asked how to

[knotty beacon]

you should

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay
cd yay
makepkg -si

make sure your not in root

so no sudo

note sudo status stays for some seconds

[winged dragon]

makepkg -si
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'yay': Permission denied
bash: cd: yay: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: You do not have write permission for the directory $BUILDDIR (/opt/yay-git).
Aborting...

[knotty beacon]

where are you currently in

what directory?

(pwd)

[winged dragon]

ITS WORKING

idk why i just had to not be in something before

[knotty beacon]

well cause

since your not root

you cant make changes outside

/home/USERNAME

for security reasons

[winged dragon]

ight so now what should i do

[knotty beacon]

well you should install windows now

to dual boot

since you installed linux before windows

you need to follow special steps

[winged dragon]

yeah

[knotty beacon]

or you could just nuke linux

and come back

once your finished with windows

[winged dragon]

im boutta nuke the shit out of linux

[knotty beacon]

okay then

[winged dragon]

im sick of working for an hour just to get 20 fucking fps

[knotty beacon]

make sure you have a windows usb ready

[winged dragon]

tho i will miss this sweet package manager

[knotty beacon]

linux is amazing on

intel and amd

mostly works out of the box

[winged dragon]

but

i mean i really like archlinux its hard as fuck but i love pacman idk its just satisfying unlike any other package managers

ight fuck it i might stay on linux

[knotty beacon]

maybe

your gpu is strong enough to handle

a virtual machine

with gpu passthrough

(could game on windows vm box)
