hey,
i need some help...
my laptop is deadly slow rn, i have tried everything to make it fast
now the only thing i think of is switching to linux (i have tried mint last year, but it didnt work out that good) (cuz of my stupidness)

now i wanna do it again, so, is it possible that i can run both windows and linux on the same ssd
as i said when i did mint, it deleted windows partition so i had to reinstall everything, then my brain got messed up so, i reinstalled windows deleting linux :/
all i need on my laptop is:
vscode
roblox
browser
nice ui (preferably rainmeter)
steam (which i saw is possible using proton)

#

FYI, i have partitioned my ssd in two drives of 500GB respectively

#

so i plan to use one for win 11 and one for linux

Most browsers are available for linux.

You can get vscode from https://code.visualstudio.com/download (deb package)

Steam is available in software manager

For roblox use Sober (in software manager)

Download Visual Studio Code - Mac, Linux, Windows

Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform - Linux, macOS, and Windows. Download Visual Studio Code to experience a redefined code editor, optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications.

#

And there should be an option during the install to install mint alongside windows

#

Rainmeter isn't available for linux, but you can change themes, icons, cursors from settings - themes (on cinnamon)
