#

Do you have a USB around that you can put ventoy in?

rare pasture
#

also, gparted is debian based so I think you would be able to use discord

rose brook
#

uhhhh

robust latch
#

You could put some tools like gparted live, and start from there

rose brook
#

disable secure boot

#

linux dosent

rare pasture
#

ventoy is linux(kinda)

robust latch
#

linux does support secure boot*

*: It's a pain to set it up

rose brook
#

did you enable secure boot in ventoy configurator

#

?

robust latch
#

Yes, it will

rose brook
#

yep

#

theres the reason ventoy threw that error

robust latch
#

But keep in mind, if you play certain games that require it (e.g. valorant) you will have to enable it to play it

rose brook
#

huh

rare pasture
#

disable

rose brook
#

why

rare pasture
#

bruh 💀

robust latch
#

It really makes no difference

rose brook
#

you can set it up later

robust latch
#

You can enable and disable it with two clicks on the BIOS anyway

rare pasture
rose brook
robust latch
#

If you really needed it, it's easy to enable it back

#

10 keys? I recall it being like... 3 keys or something

rose brook
robust latch
#

Wow

#

You can save them to a USB if that's a problem

rose brook
#

whats that gonna help

robust latch
#

What were you trying to install? Fedora?

#

Alright

rose brook
#

wait even better

robust latch
rose brook
#

use etcher and flash the fed image

robust latch
#

Ventoy worked fine with secure boot on my laptop

rose brook
robust latch
#

Not that it should be your case, but for some reason, mine did

rose brook
#

you should disable secure boot NOW

#

that was a TERRIBLE Joke

#

oh wait

#

YES

robust latch
#

yep

#

Please avoid these terms

rose brook
#

10000000000000%

robust latch
#

It should work just fine

rose brook
#

🤮 Windows 11 instead of 10

robust latch
#

As long as you've copied it correctly

#

why would it

#

I mean, there's a chance you mess up something if you're not being careful, but it's always fixable

rose brook
#

what did you expect

#

Its

#

POP OS

#

Please review #info-rules and then stop using slurs in this server, even if directed towards yourself, or an inanimate object, or a process or concept

rose brook
#

???

#

oh wait

#

try installing fedora

#

it should have a dual boot option

#

wich?

#

gj

#

you broke something not even relevant to partitioning

#

easy

#

there is none

rose brook
#

BOOT OUT OF WINDOWS

#

AH yes

#

that file isnt even in a partition

#

WINDOWS DOSENT EVEN SUPPORT LIVE PARTITION EDITING

#

YOU CAN ONLY IF YOU ARENT USING THE WINDOWS

#

on your system

#

just

#

use gparted

#

or dont install linux at all

robust latch
#

use gparted instead

#

Windows won't let you move anything because it's in use

#

It's not the only one, it's the easiest

rose brook
#

@paper heath did you try it?

rose brook
#

@paper heath ya did it now

#

okay then have fun waiting 10 days

#

you cannot "brick" a pc by resizing a partition

#

no

#

if you dont move the entire fs to the right you cant possibly break it

versed ruin
#

I used Gparted live to shrink a drive not long ago

#

And it destroyed all of my os

#

I decided to just reinstall

#

And back up what I can
